Those who apply for a green card (permanent resident document) in the United States will no longer have to show proof or certificate of the corona vaccine. This was announced by the new administration of President Donald Trump.
USCIS, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), said it waived the requirement for applicants seeking legal permanent resident status to submit any or all required documents to prove they had received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Meanwhile, after taking power for the second term, Trump has announced to crack down on immigrants. He has expanded the process of deporting undocumented immigrants from the United States. Immigrants who cannot show proof of residence in the United States for two consecutive years or more will be covered.
In addition, Trump has signed an executive order to grant birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants in the United States. It has been challenged by 22 Democrat-controlled states and two cities. Various civil rights organizations have also joined the legal battle.
It’s unclear how Trump intends to enforce the new rules on birthright citizenship. Because, this citizenship by birth is a subject reserved in the US Constitution.
If Trump wants to take away this constitutional right of birthright citizenship, then he will have to get the support of two-thirds of the members of the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives and the upper house of the Senate.
