Pregnant women seek hospitals due to birthright citizenship ban..!?
As President Trump's order banning birthright citizenship is set to take effect on Feb. 19, pregnant women from india are seeking hospitals to have children before then. donald trump took office as US President on the 20th. On the very first day, he issued an order imposing certain restrictions on birthright citizenship. A child born in the united states is granted US citizenship regardless of the citizenship status of the mother or father. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution provides this right. However, donald trump recently issued an order imposing some restrictions on this. Accordingly, children born to parents living in the united states illegally will not be granted citizenship by birth.
Trump bans citizenship by birth; 22 states file lawsuit against it. Similarly, it has been said that children born to those who came to the united states temporarily, that is, for work, will not be automatically granted citizenship. This order will come into effect from february 19, according to the president's order. Thousands of indians are temporarily living in the united states on H.1B and L1 visas. Many are waiting to apply for green cards that grant permanent citizenship. Currently, many mothers are afraid due to Trump's new order. Many mothers who are eight or nine months pregnant have approached doctors. They are investigating whether there is a possibility of giving birth by february 19, when the new law will come into effect.


Doctors said: "Many pregnant women contact us and ask about having an early baby. Some still have a month to go before the end of their pregnancy. A seven-month-pregnant woman came with her husband and talked about having an early baby. She has until march to give birth. She does not want to wait until then. Although it is possible to have an early baby, it can cause problems for the mother and the baby. Problems include inadequate lung development, breastfeeding, and low birth weight. This is what she said.
