Ending Birthright Citizenship Would Impact Asian Legal Immigrants Most

What happened: A recent study shows that while most babies losing automatic citizenship would be Hispanic, the largest relative rise would occur among babies born to Asian parents on visas.

Why it matters:

  • Changes to birthright citizenship could affect immigrant families' legal status and rights.
  • Asian legal immigrants on visas may face disproportionate challenges compared to other groups.

MNN Take: The study highlights how policy changes to citizenship rules could have uneven effects across different immigrant communities, especially those on temporary visas.
