Registration has been made mandatory for foreign nationals living for more than 30 days in the US. The US Home Safety Department (DHS) has implemented this rule. Under this, foreigners will have to register themselves with the federal government. If they do not do so, they will have to pay a fine and they can also be arrested.
Foreign registrations that do not register can also be deported from the United States. This decision has been taken by the administration of President Donald Trump amid strict rules on immigration related issues. This has increased concern in the immigrant community living in the US. There is a large population of Indians in America. India is the second largest foreign market for the United States in terms of tourists. This means that Indian is the second most popular tourist destination in America. In such a situation, this rule will especially increase difficulties for Indians.

An American federal judge has cleared this rule related to the registration of foreigners. On April 10, Judge Trevor McFaden dismissed the petition to stop the rule. He had said that there are not enough legal basis to stop it. This decision has come a day before the rules are implemented. This has cleared the way for the implementation of the new rule. This rule is based on the law of the time of World War II.
What is this rule?
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewitt said that ‘all foreign nationals living in America for more than 30 days will have to register with the federal government.’ Not doing so can be fined, imprisonment or both. If you do not do this, you will be arrested, fined and deported from the country. After this you will never be able to come back.
According to the new rule, people coming to America after April 11 will have to register within 30 days. Children who have completed 14 years of age will also have to register again and submit their fingerprints. Organizations such as the Human immigration rights coalition and the US Immigration Council say that this rule creates confusion. This rule also violates the Administrative Procedure Act.

Lawyers say that those who have documents like H-1B employees, students and green cards will be considered already registered. Despite this, they have to keep their documents with them and inform the address within 10 days. If they do not do so, they will also have to pay a fine. Parents whose children live in the country for more than 30 days, will also have to register their children.
Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nom said that the message of President Trump is clear: Those who are illegally in the country should leave the country. If they leave now, they can get a chance to come back. He said, ‘Trump administration will implement all immigration laws. We need to know who is in our country to protect our country and all Americans. ‘
