The birthright thing is going to be really bad for Indian immigrants. I was in the H1B queue for 9 years, didn't get my application approved yet. Fortunately, ended up marrying a US citizen and became a resident. You now can lawfully work in this country for 10 years, and have your children not be legal residents.

That’s my current understanding as well, though I’m still trying to get a better handle on it. Either way, total nightmare.
