The statement of US Vice President JD Vance over the green card has definitely increased the concerns of Indians living in the US. Vance has clearly stated in interviews that the green card does not mean that any foreigner can settle in America indefinitely. He said that this does not guarantee the permanent residence in America. JD Vance said, “Green card holders do not have the right to live in America indefinitely.” This is not a matter of freedom of expression, it is a matter of national security.
Green card announced
Green card is a type of American permanent resident card, which allows foreign nationals to officially live and work in the US. Vance said, “If the Foreign Minister and the President decide that this person should not live in the United States, then that person has no legal right to live here.” This is the general meaning of a green card. Vance’s statement came in response to the arrest of Mahmud Khalil, a graduate and green card holder of Columbia University. Khalil was detained for his role in protests against the Israeli-Hamas War. Green card is a type of American permanent resident card, which allows foreign nationals to officially live and work in the US. On this basis, immigrants can also apply for American citizenship. A large number of Indians live in America with the help of green cards. About 2.8 million Indians in the US have green cards.
Trump’s arrival increased difficulties
The ban on immigrants in the US has increased since Donald Trump became President for the second time. Illegal immigrants are being sent to their countries by military aircraft. Meanwhile, legitimate immigrants are also facing strict sanctions on visa and green cards to live in the US. So far it has become clear that during Trump’s tenure, that is, living in the US for the next four years and getting citizenship there will not be an easy process.
