Birthright Citizenship Challenges Concerns for Indian Immigrants
A U.S. rule tried to stop children born to temporary foreign workers from automatically becoming citizens.
Courts blocked this, but it's still being fought in court.
Indians, who make up a large immigrant group and face long waits for green cards, are especially worried.
If the rule goes through, their kids born in the U.S. might not be citizens.
This is making the 'American dream' harder for them.
Trump's executive order sought to end birthright citizenship for children born to temporary foreign workers.
Multiple courts blocked the order, but the administration appealed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court limited lower courts' power to issue nationwide injunctions.
Indians face long wait times for green cards, which is a bottleneck for citizenship.
Uncertainty about birthright citizenship is causing concern among Indian immigrants in the US.
