People come from India to the United States only to 'give birth to children': Trump
US President Donald Trump has triggered a fresh wave of international backlash after sharing a highly derogatory and racist post on his social media platform, 'Truth Social'. The post, originally from political commentator Michael Savage's 'Savage Nation' podcast, targets immigrants from India and China with inflammatory rhetoric.
Key Highlights of the Controversial Post:
-
Offensive Labeling: The shared content refers to India and China as "hell-holes" and labels skilled immigrants from these nations as "laptop-wielding gangsters."
-
Economic Allegations: Savage claims that the entire US tech system is controlled by Indians and Chinese, making it "impossible" for white Americans to find jobs in California, and accuses them of damaging the country more than the mafia.
-
Birthright Citizenship: The post attacks the practice of "birth tourism," claiming people come from these countries solely to have children who automatically become US citizens.
Trump’s Policy and Legal Battle:
Despite Trump’s recent claim to CNBC that the US is the only country offering birthright citizenship, international data confirms that over 36 countries, including Canada and Mexico, follow similar laws.
Currently, the Trump administration is aggressively moving to end this practice:
-
Executive Order: Upon taking office in January, Trump signed an executive order aimed at stopping automatic citizenship for children born in the US under certain conditions.
-
Supreme Court Case: This move is currently being challenged in the Supreme Court in a landmark case titled Trump v. Barbara. Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with the potential ruling, stating that a decision against his administration would "drag America’s dignity through the dirt."
