President Donald Trump signs an executive order on birthright citizenship in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 20. | Photo Credit: AFP The story so far: U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order stating that U.S. citizenship will be granted in the future only to children with parents holding U.S. citizenship or a U.S. green card. Citizenship is defined as full and equal membership of a country. In the words of Hannah Arendt, citizenship is the ‘right to have rights’. There are two important legal systems based on which citizenship is acquired in various countries. One of them is ‘jus soli’ which means ‘right of soil.’ Under this principle, a child’s citizenship is determined by his or her place of birth irrespective of the citizenship of their parents. Many North American and Latin American countries like Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina etc., follow this principle while granting citizenship for children born within their country. The other is ‘jus sanguinis’ which means ‘right of blood.’ Under this principle, a child’s citizenship is determined by the citizenship of parents. Many African, European and Asian countries like Egypt, South Africa, Germany, India etc., follow this principle.

Russell and his wife met at the University of Cambridge. Courtest of Matthew Russell After falling in love with an American, Matthew Russell left his life in the UK behind. In the US, Russell turned to sports and group events to build a community. He pushed himself at work so he didn't feel like a "trailing spouse." I never thought I'd live outside the UK, where I'd lived my whole life, until I met my future wife at the University of Cambridge. We were both pursuing master's degrees, and were introduced during orientation day. We got along instantly and started dating in November 2019. A few months later, in 2020, the COVID pandemic hit, and we had to evacuate the university for our hometowns: me to Wales and her to Philadelphia. Long distance became our grueling reality for the next four years, while she was in NYC, and I was in London. We facetimed regularly, sometimes multiple times a day, but only saw each other a few times a year. We got married two years later, and I was granted a pathway to stay in the US as a green card holder , exchanging much of my UK life for a new adventure in Chicago.
