that proving your citizenship is so easy - everyone can do it.

This is precisely the kind of stories many of us have been raising for years regarding the challenges of documenting birth when the birth occured at home, to a non-white woman, attended by a midwife.

Many such births are made more complex by not being registered immediately (some innocuously, and some becuase registration of birth was refused to certain populations).

We have always had a racist system - Trump is just better than most at exploiting it.
