Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:
“The Trump plan suggests no automatic citizenship for children born in the US. This is almost certainly a contravention of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. A Supreme Court judgement is available to counter Trump’s misinterpretation," Rajiv S. Khanna, an immigration attorney, was quoted as saying in the TOI report.
