Washington. America’s next President Donald Trump is working on such a plan, which can become a cause of trouble for millions of Indians. If Trump succeeds in his plan, it will be no less than a disaster for these Indians who got citizenship by birth in America. In fact, Donald Trump has said that after taking the oath of office as President, he will abolish the constitutional provision of American citizenship based on birth. According to a figure, the number of people getting citizenship on the basis of birth in America is 1600000. However, Trump did not tell where the people affected by his change would go? Which option will be open for them?
Donald Trump has made it clear that when he takes oath as President on January 20, 2025, the process of ending citizenship based on birth will be started. Changing this constitutional provision may require many changes. Donald Trump said in NBC’s Meet the Press that he is going to eliminate this provision because it is nonsense. Let us tell you that some American experts also advocate abolishing the provision of getting citizenship on the basis of birth. He says that just for this reason many people cross the border and enter America. This rule is being misused a lot.
What will be the impact on 16 lakh Indians?
According to the information, there are 16 lakh Indians in America who have acquired American citizenship on the basis of birth. Now the question arises that if Trump remains firm on his announcement, then what will happen to millions of Indian-American citizens living there? However, Trump has not yet told what will be the period for its implementation if the provision of citizenship based on birth is abolished. Will all such citizens be included in this or will it come into effect from the date after the change or from the date of change. However, experts say that it will not be an easy task for Trump to implement this decision. Due to this, many types of obstacles will have to be overcome.
14th constitutional amendment
An important amendment was made to the US Constitution about 150 years ago. Through this, arrangements were made to obtain American citizenship on the basis of birth. Its main objective was to provide citizenship to those who had come here decades ago and their children were born here. It clearly says that all those people who are born on American soil will be citizens of this country. Even after Trump’s announcement, constitutional experts are not sure about this. He says that for this the Constitution will have to be amended which is not an easy task at all.
