Supreme Court is hearing arguments on President Trump's executive order to end universal birthright citizenship, which could create 6.4 million undocumented U.S.-born children by 2050, disproportionately affecting Asians lawfully in the country on visas. A Penn State study reveals that while Latinos would see the most absolute growth in undocumented numbers, Asians would experience the largest relative increase in births without citizenship at 41 per 1,000 Asian immigrants. This stems from children born to parents on student or work visas from countries like India and China, who would lose citizenship rights under the order.

Many of these parents are already in the U.S. legally, waiting years for green cards, and their children born in the U.S. would join an underclass with no path to citizenship. The study warns this would generate "mixed-status families" and expand the undocumented population significantly, destabilizing communities and labor markets.
