After stepping into office, President Donald Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants or those whose mothers were in the country legally but temporarily.
The proposed order has sparked concerns about Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, with social media users speculating that she might lose her citizenship because her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth.
Krish and Lakshmi Chilukuri, Usha’s parents, moved to the United States from Andhra Pradesh, India, in the 1980s. However, it is unclear from publicly available information when they acquired US citizenship.
Both have achieved notable success in their careers. Krish is an aerospace engineer and lecturer at San Diego State University, while Lakshmi is a biologist and serves as the provost at the University of California, San Diego.
