Bruce Case Staff Writer  Let me preface this by asserting that Trump cannot simply end birthright citizenship with an executive order. He said, “It’s in the process…It’ll happen, with an executive order” to fire up his base to get them to vote in the midterms. I think for the same reason, he sent troops to the border.
