Yes, that’s exactly right. It’s all been taken advantage of by democrats. Trump’s trying to end birthright citizenship which has been abused to destroy America. Remember, they also practice chain migration where one them born here is allowed to bring in many more relatives. That’s been completely taken advantage of too.
