Birthright citizenship
Trump has said "we're the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits. It's ridiculous and it has to end."
A lie (shocker!). Actually many other countries have birthright citizenship, including Canada and Mexico.
This is all about the 14th amendment to our constitution, adopted after the Civil War to establish the citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws for former slaves and their children. That Trump and his henchmen (Pence, Graham, etc.) want to do away with birthright citizenship is another example of their racism.

I don't actually think he can do that by executive order. However I think he thinks saying it will get his base out to vote. But it will also energize the Democrats and independents to get out and vote.
Yeah, he seems to want to appeal to a group of people who are really anti-immigration, but why does he have such high approval ratings with all Republicans, not just his nutball base?
