What citizenship laws do countries follow? | Explained



President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 that challenges birthright citizenship in the U.S., which has been a constitutional right since 1866. The order has faced legal challenges and has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge. If implemented, children born to illegal immigrants or those on temporary visas will no longer be automatically granted U.S. citizenship. This move has sparked debates on citizenship laws, with the U.S. following jus soli (right of soil) principle, while other countries opt for jus sanguinis (right of blood). Indian immigrants in the U.S. could be affected by this order, as many hope to obtain citizenship through various visas and green cards.
