Trump officials say children of some service members overseas will not get automatic citizenship
The policy guidance issued Wednesday stated that USCIS “no longer considers children of U.S. government employees and U.S. armed forces members residing outside the United States as ‘residing in the United States’ for purposes of acquiring citizenship under INA 320.”

Will this lead to only single people volunteering for the military?
