US Citizenship: Don’t worry if Trump doesn’t want it… Birth: US Citizenship is not a problem.. It is in many countries..

US Citizenship: The latest decision of the President of the United States of America to revoke the birthright of citizenship for people born in the United States has caused a stir among the Indian diaspora. On January 20, shortly after taking office as President of the United States, Trump issued executive orders repealing the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution for birthright citizenship.

Petitions have already been filed on judicial positions. On the other hand, people who enter the US without proper documents and return tickets are forcibly deported back to their home countries. The new US President has already started imposing sanctions to curb illegal immigration. On the other hand, efforts are also being made to get rid of the children before Trump’s orders are implemented.

why worry…

As restrictions are set to begin in the US, there is concern among those seeking a future in that country, those who have already left, and those waiting for permanent residency and citizenship that they will be affected by the latest order. There is widespread debate. Telugu migrant groups say that even though Trump’s decision is worrying, there is no need to worry.

More in the Gulf than in America.

Trump’s latest decision caused a huge uproar, but in reality the number of Indian immigrants settled in America is more than the Telugu immigrants in the Gulf countries. Rajasekhar of TDP’s NRI wing said that although there is no clear data on the number of Telugu people in the world, there could be around 27-30 lakh Telugu people in all the countries.

Overseas Telugu groups say there is no need to panic, but there should be more clarity on the implementation of Trump’s latest decision. He suggests that it is best to go abroad with a clear understanding as reverse migration exists in all countries.

Hindsight is better..

Currently there are more people working in the Gulf countries in the Telugu states than those settled in the US. India is getting foreign exchange worth more than Rs 30 thousand crore every year through Telugu people from all over the world. At the same time, expatriate Telugu groups say that the income from Gulf countries can be higher than the income from America.

It is being reminded that the new provision brought by Trump in America is similar to the Gulf countries from the beginning, where there is no process for permanent citizenship. It is reminded that going for employment, working more and more days and returning home will lead to the welfare of the motherland. They are reminded that with what they have earned, they are part of the foreign exchange as well as local development

One-third of American citizens are…

At present there are about one million Telugu people in America, while 12-14 lakh people are working in Gulf countries. It is estimated that there could be 1.5 lakh people in Britain, 2-3 lakh people in Europe, 2 lakh people in Australia and New Zealand and 2-3 lakh people in South Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

At present, there is a system of granting permanent citizenship in about 38 countries including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Only permanent resident status is available in Singapore. Citizenship is not available. There is no system of granting citizenship from the beginning in Gulf countries.

Currently only 2.5 lakh Telugus living in America are permanent citizens. The rest are H1B visas, student visas, tourist visas and illegal immigrants. More than 50,000 people from Telugu states have gone to the US for higher education in the last five years. All of them are doing part-time jobs with the aim of settling there. Lakhs of people are trying to get work permits. Those who went into debt in search of dollars are worried about what will happen.

On the other hand, Rajasekhar of TDP NRI wing said that among those going to America with H1B visa, there are people who have been waiting for citizenship for more than 15-20 years. He said the latest developments would be embarrassing for those who hope to one day obtain US citizenship.

No need to worry… motherland is always ready to welcome

Overseas Telugu communities say those who have gone to the US with the idea of ​​settling there for various reasons need to worry about what will happen when they return to the motherland. On the other hand, Union External Affairs Minister Jaishankar has already clarified the US citizenship policies. Those going there have to respect the laws of that country.

There is an opinion that if the latest decision of the US President is fully implemented then Andhra Pradesh will benefit from it. The view is expressed against the backdrop of concerns about permanent migration that this is the right time to invest in the motherland and the motherland.

Currently the capital of Andhra Pradesh is under construction. If investment and intellectual migration is inevitable, there are views that plans are needed to properly utilize the youth power returning from the US. It is explained that if the government announces concessions and incentives to invite investment, it can be useful for AP.

At present, people who go abroad for employment and settle there, their property also remains in those countries. Overseas Telugu associations are of the opinion that if money can be attracted as investment, it will be good for the state. In this direction, if the government can reassure the migrants and attract them, then something good is expected.
