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.
