Also, I went searching thru my e-Library looking for something else, and saw an article* from last year after the election, pointing out that Trump has wanted to do away with Birthright Citizenship for many years — it’s one of those things he has brought up again and again. Like a lot of things he can’t shut up about, it’s like an itch he can’t scratch. I think it was another of his Day One promises/threats, which means he will do it if he can.
