Usha Vance Birthright Citizenship: Donald Trump signed several executive orders on the first day of his second term, one of which caused quite a stir. The purpose of this order is to eliminate birthright citizenship in the United States. Because of this, Trump’s order will end the policy of giving automatic citizenship to the children of immigrants born in America. By this order J.D. Vance’s wife will also be affected, which will increase his stress.
Usha’s parents were not American citizens at the time of her birth.
Since taking office, President Donald Trump has announced plans to eliminate birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants or mothers who are in the country temporarily legally. Now the question regarding this order is whether after Donald Trump’s order, the citizenship of the Vice President’s Indian wife Usha Vance will also be taken away?
This order has increased the concern of JD Vance’s wife Usha Vance. Usha Vance’s parents did not have American citizenship at the time of her birth, hence Usha Vance is an American citizen of Indian origin. Due to which Usha may also have to lose her citizenship. People are making such predictions on social media.
Truth behind Usha’s claim regarding citizenship
USA Today has given clarification regarding Usha’s citizenship. Donald Trump’s order officially and clearly states, ‘It will apply only to individuals who were not born in the United States within 30 days of the date of this order,’ reports USA Today. This means that this rule will only apply to people born after February 19, 2025, because the order was signed on January 20, 2025 and will come into effect 30 days later.
This decision will affect Indian immigrants
According to Trump’s order, if one of the parents of the newborn baby is not an American citizen or green card holder, then that child will not get American citizenship. This policy may particularly affect Indian immigrants, including H-1B, L1 visa holders, dependent visa (H4), student visa (F1) and other short-term visa holders.
