I was quoted by the Times of India in its article titled, “Citizenship by birth to be curtailed by incoming US President Trump, will impact 1 million Indians in green card queue”:

Ashwin Sharma, immigration attorney said, “The 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ For over a century, courts have consistently interpreted this clause to mean that all children born on U.S. soil are citizens, so long as their parents are within the bounds of US law. Documented migrants, like those on H-1B, L-1 (intra company transfers), and F-1 (international students) visas, clearly fall into this category. Therefore, I am quite certain this proposed executive order would not hold up in court and their children would be entitled to birthright citizenship.”
