U.S. immigration officials defended a new Trump policy that ends automatic citizenship for some children born to U.S. citizens stationed abroad as gov employees or members of the U.S. military, saying it would only affect a 'handful' of families every year
Aug 29 - U.S. immigration officials on Thursday defended a new policy that ends automatic citizenship for some children born to U.S. citizens stationed abroad as government employees or members of the U.S. military, saying it would only affect a"handful" of families every year.
But under a policy USCIS announced on Wednesday, effective Oct. 29, certain parents will be required to go through a formal application process seeking U.S. citizenship on their children’s behalf by their 18th birthday. "This really is a very small population," a different USCIS official said."Our records that we ran reflected possibly 20 to 25 people over the past five years per year."
Story continuesThe new policy, which is not retroactive, sparked immediate consternation on the part of some organizations representing members of the armed forces.
