The indian community in the united states has been rocked by Donald Trump's executive order to deny birthright citizenship to those on temporary work visas, tourist visas, and student visas, especially those who are currently on visas like H1-Bs and H4s. Families who are soon to have children are particularly affected and are left in complete bewilderment. The executive directive states that the deadline is february 29. Babies born in the united states will no longer be eligible for U.S. citizenship or a U.S. passport after this date.
 
The indian community is quite alarmed about this, particularly those families who are expecting a child in the upcoming months. After february 19, there are no explicit rules or information concerning a newborn's status, leaving parents unsure of their child's legal standing or how and to whom to report their situation. It's a really crazy scenario. Ironically, a sizable segment of the indian community—both those with and without the ability to vote—supported trump throughout his campaign. Since this executive order immediately affected them so soon after trump took office, many now regret their choice.
 
The order, according to trump supporters, targets the abuse of U.S. citizenship by illegal immigrants and those who enter the nation with the express purpose of giving birth and obtaining U.S. citizenship for their offspring. The executive order has been challenged in a number of cases, though, and it could take some time for the courts to make a ruling. Meanwhile, the ambiguity surrounding the future legal status of their children continues to be a major concern for indian families who are expecting kids in the upcoming months.
