Recently, there’s been buzz around the growing number of C-sections among Indian families in the U.S. This change is driven by concerns over President Trump’s new policy on citizenship.
The policy aims to curb what’s known as ‘birth tourism,’ and many Americans are finding relief in this development.

Under this new rule, pregnant women planning to travel to the U.S. to give birth can no longer do so. Reports indicate that this trend has been particularly prevalent among families from India and Mexico.
President Trump announced this policy shortly after assuming office, indicating his aim to challenge a long-standing constitutional amendment. This amendment, in place for 127 years, ensures that children born on U.S. soil are granted American nationality, irrespective of their parents’ citizenship status.

The move has met with legal challenges from various fronts, including suits filed by 22 states and several civil rights organizations. These lawsuits may just be the beginning of significant legal and societal shifts regarding immigration policies in the U.S.

Uncertainty looms over how these changes will reshape the immigration landscape. Questions persist about the possibility and extent of these changes, as discussed in various media reports.
President Trump justifies the policy as a necessary step to reduce the number of migrants whose parents do not have U.S. citizenship.
This development particularly impacts Indian families residing in the U.S., especially those with temporary visas. These families are feeling increasingly pressured by the changes due to the lack of guaranteed permanent residency.
