Trump officials say children of US service members overseas will not get automatic citizenship

Why make people's lives more difficult?

The Trump administration said Wednesday that the children of certain U.S. military members and government employees working overseas will no longer automatically be considered United States citizens.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a policy on Wednesday rescinding previous guidance stating that children of U.S. service members and other government officials abroad are considered "residing in the United States" and automatically given citizenship under a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

The new rule will not apply to children who acquire citizenship at birth or while residing in the United States, according to the guidance. That includes children born abroad to U.S. citizens who have resided in the United States at some point in the past five years.

The new policy guidance states that USCIS "no longer considers children of U.S. government employees and U.S. armed forces members residing outside the United States as 'residing in the United States' for purposes of acquiring citizenship under INA 320."

The guidance states that "U.S. citizen parents who are residing outside the United States with children who are not U.S. citizens should apply for U.S. citizenship on behalf of their children under INA 322, and must complete the process before the child's 18th birthday."

The new policy will take effect Oct. 29, according to the USCIS notice.

"The policy change explains that we will not consider children who live abroad with their parents to be residing in the United States even if their parents are U.S. government employees or U.S. service members stationed outside of the United States, and as a result, these children will no longer be considered to have acquired citizenship automatically," a USCIS spokesperson told Task & Purpose.

"For them to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship, their U.S. citizen parent must apply for citizenship on their behalf."

it actually addresses other issues,  US is one of the only countries that taxes citizens who have no connection to home.  by not forcing citizenship on those kids they can choose to be citizens of the country they are living in without that burden/expense of renouncing citizenship

I've got exactly zero problem with this.  

The guidance states that "U.S. citizen parents who are residing outside the United States with children who are not U.S. citizens should apply for U.S. citizenship on behalf of their children under INA 322, and must complete the process before the child's 18th birthday."

The new policy will take effect Oct. 29, according to the USCIS notice.

If 2 Mexicans are here and have a kid, the kid is a citizen. Trump is trying to change that.

Seems to me, this is an example having the law apply equally.
