A reminder on the practice of birth right citizenship

Not all who partake are undocumented immigrants. With the right amount of money you can vacation your way to citizenship for your baby.

There is a booming business in Russian citizens doing just that. Some of them in Trump properties.

What will Putin think?

1. Putin won't have to think.

Trump and his enablers will find a way to exempt "certain types of people" who will continue to obtain birthright citizenship. Trump is just using the practice as a wedge issue to stir up fears of Brown people coming to destroy America.

2. Does Putin want rich Russians getting US citizenship?

I’m not sure why that would be important to him.

3. It's really more of a rhetorical question

He probably does not really care.

Although I suspect that many of the people wealthy enough to do this are connected to the oligarchy in some way.
