Trump tightens citizenship rules for military children overseas

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services issued policy guidance Wednesday to define "residence" in statutory provisions clarifying the distinction between a person residing in the US and just being physically present.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service quietly issued changes Wednesday to the way a group of these children born overseas to these parents acquire citizenship. There are about four.5 million anchor infants within the USA with probably numerous extra residing overseas who've been allowed to transmit their citizenship to their youngsters as properly. The Trump administration has unveiled new rules on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2019, that will make it harder for children of some immigrants serving in the military to obtain citizenship.

The Trump Administration is changing the way birthright citizenship is determined for children of service members and federal workers who are born and reside outside of the United States.

But under a policy USCIS announced on Wednesday, effective October 29, certain parents will be required to go through a formal application process seeking USA citizenship on their children's behalf by their 18th birthday.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration issued new regulatory guidance under which some children born to USA military members and government employees stationed overseas will no longer automatically qualify for US citizenship.

"It only affects children who were born outside the U.S. and were not United States citizens", Cuccinelli tweeted.

A Pentagon spokesperson assured military members that the "estimated impact of this particular change is small".

"This policy aligns USCIS' process with the Department of State's procedure, that's it", he said.

The Department of Defense estimates that the number of people impacted by the policy change is approximately 100 annually.

Trump administration ending automatic citizenship for US troops' children born abroad

"Folks who are going insane rt now in the media, no changes have been made to citizenship-statement coming shortly".

The technical language of the policy guidance made it "very challenging" to read, said Constance MacIntosh, an Associate Professor in Law at Dalhousie University and an expert in immigration policy.

Servicemembers and civilians stationed overseas whose son or daughter is not an American now face a new process for applying for their child's citizenship under policy changes announced Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

And physical presence is defined by the USCIC as being in the USA without owning or renting any property or having another principal living space.

"By law, most babies born to USA citizens overseas become US citizens at birth". If the parent used Form N-600, it would result in automatic citizenship under INA 320.

USA citizenship can be acquired a few ways, including being born in the country.

During the phone call, USCIS officials stressed that the new policy in no way negates birthright citizenship.

Previously, these families were considered to be residing in the U.S. even while stationed overseas, for immigration purposes.

Constance explained who could be excluded from citizenship with the new guidance: "Any child whose parent does not manage to file that application before the child turns 18".

Stocks are the new bonds
This move also put the 30-year yield below yields of US debt of far shorter duration such as 3-month and 1-month Treasury bills. Stocks moved broadly higher in early trading on Wall Street Tuesday, extending the market's solid gains from the day before.
