That’s a very strange policy, to the point that I’m wondering if the USCIS is trying to sabotage Trump. All over the world, children of a given nation’s citizens are generally considered citizens. Whereas children born in a given country are only citizens if at least one parent is a citizen of that country.
“USCIS issued a clarification to the rule later Wednesday, explaining that the new rule would only affect three categories of people: Children of non-U.S. citizens adopted by U.S. citizen government employees or service members; children of non-U.S. citizen government employees or service members who were naturalized after the child’s birth; and children of U.S. citizens who do not meet residency requirements. “
From the above piece “...only affect three categories of people: Children of non-U.S. citizens adopted by U.S. citizen government employees or service members; children of non-U.S. citizen government employees or service members who were naturalized after the child’s birth; and children of U.S. citizens who do not meet residency requirements. ...”
May be a method chosen to bring into public consciousness and debate the natural born concept.
I, for one, trust President Trump and his hard-line on immigration. Children born in the US should get special status, regardless of the circumstances. President Trump is more wise than any of us, and his wisdom should not be questioned. So what if a few people’s lives are temporarily disrupted, we all must make sacrifices to end the terror years of open boarders have inflicted.
As far as I can tell the only folks affected are children of foreign based green card holder USG employees who have not resided long in the US. The population of those people has to be near zero. For all practical purposes this a non story. Just another Fake News attack on POTUS, basically.
The ruling reads as correct action against a fault.
