Trump’s EO is bad policy and pretty clearly unconstitutional. It also may not be as terrifying as it initially seems… the real issue is how difficult it is for immigrants from certain countries to get permanent residency.

Here are my thoughts:

Context: I am a birthright U.S. citizen—both my parents (a computer scientist mom and chemical engineering PhD dad) were Indian citizens on temp visas when I was born. Under Trumps EO I would not be a US Citizen at birth… and it wouldn’t be that bad.

I believe that citizenship by birth (Jus Soli- right of the soil) is inherently American, but I also understand the desire to reform the policy to make it less desirable for illegal aliens to enter the country.

Trump’s proposed executive order to limit birthright citizenship would not be my policy choice, primarily because it is unconstitutional (more on that later), but also because it disproportionately impacts immigrants stuck on temp visas (people from India, China, Mexico and the Philippines especially) because of our shitty green card system.

However, if applied similarly to how other countries with jus sanguinis (right of blood)—like the UK, Australia, and Germany—handle citizenship, it is not as bad as it seems at first glance.

The real issue here is the green card country cap, which amplifies the inequities in our immigration system. Only 7% of green cards can currently be issued to citizens of any single country, meaning that Indians often wait 10–20+ years for green cards. Chinese, Mexican, and Filipino immigrants face similar delays. This bottleneck disproportionately affects their children. Under Trump’s plan, the children of immigrants from these countries, who are waiting for green cards while on temporary status, would lose their right to U.S. citizenship at birth. Immigrants from European countries, who get green cards easier, would still largely benefit from jus soli, as they would be permanent residents and their kids would get birthright citizenship.

Constitutional Concerns

Beyond the logistical implications, Trump’s EO is unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment clearly states:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

This principle was affirmed in the landmark 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco’s Chinatown to Chinese parents who were not U.S. citizens, was denied reentry after a family trip to China due to the Chinese Exclusion Act. He argued, and the Supreme Court confirmed in a 6-2 decision, that being born in the U.S. automatically granted him citizenship, regardless of his parents’ status. This precedent has stood unchallenged for over a century. An executive order cannot override or reinterpret constitutional provisions, meaning Trump’s EO would almost certainly face legal challenges, likely culminating in a Supreme Court fight.

Why It Might Not Be So Bad in Practice

If Trump’s policy were to be implemented—and upheld—it could mirror systems like the UK’s, where birthright citizenship is contingent on a parent obtaining permanent residency or on the child reaching a certain age. For example, if I were born in the UK under similar circumstances, I would not have been a British citizen at birth but would become one
1) when a parent got their green card (happened when I was nine), or
2) automatically gained citizenship upon turning 10 and living in the UK for that time.

In this scenario, I would have remained an Indian citizen until then, but that wouldn’t have been a hardship for me or my family in any way.

In short- I don’t think we should dismantle a policy that defines the US as a land of opportunity, but this one probably won’t be upheld and even if it does could have minimal damage… the real issue is the green card backlog for skilled immigrants.

Update on @suchirbalaji

We hired private investigator and did second autopsy to throw light on cause of death. Private autopsy doesn’t confirm cause of death stated by police.

Suchir’s apartment was ransacked , sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like some one hit him in bathroom based on blood spots.

It’s a cold blooded mu*d*r declared by authorities as suicide.

Lobbying in SF city doesn’t stop us from getting justices.

We demand FBi investigation
