US President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to end birthright citizenship upon taking office on January 20, arguing it encourages illegal immigration and "birth tourism." Indian immigrants in the US would face increased challenges under this policy, with broader anti-immigration measures, such as restrictions on student and H1-B visas. Legal experts warn that ending birthright citizenship would face significant constitutional challenges, but could create a more unpredictable immigration system. Advocates argue that it is essential for immigrant integration and that repealing it would worsen illegal immigration and create a permanent underclass of non-citizens.
