In a previous article, "Trump Wins! Is This the Last Chance for Immigration to the U.S.?", we predicted that President Trump would intensify restrictions on immigration policies after taking office.
On January 20, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order abolishing birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants and non-permanent residents (such as those holding visa waivers, student visas, work visas, or tourist visas).
Details of Trump’s Executive Order

Under this executive order, children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants or foreign nationals holding temporary visas will no longer automatically acquire U.S. citizenship.
In principle, only children born to at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident will automatically be granted U.S. citizenship.
In addition, the executive order will take effect 30 days after signing, meaning that starting February 19, 2025, all babies born on U.S. soil will be subject to this policy.
Controversy Over Trump’s Policy
The proposal to end birthright citizenship has sparked widespread controversy. Immigration advocacy groups have already filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, arguing that this move violates federal law and the U.S. Constitution.
As a result, the policy remains highly uncertain, and its ultimate implementation will depend on future legal decisions.
EB-5: A Pathway to U.S. Permanent Residency

For foreign nationals seeking permanent residency in the U.S., the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is an ideal pathway. This program imposes no requirements on age, education, business experience, or language proficiency, and the minimum investment amount is only $800,000. Applicants can obtain a U.S. green card within a year.
Additionally, applicants can file both the I-526E and I-485 petitions concurrently, allowing them to gain lawful residency in as little as 90 days.
Conclusion
Since taking office, President Trump has moved quickly to tighten immigration policies, with the possibility of introducing even more restrictive measures in the future. For those considering immigration to the U.S., it is advisable to plan early to increase the chances of successfully obtaining a visa.
