If Trump could spark his political career by questioning the citizenship of a sitting American president, who happened to be the country’s first African American commander-in-chief, then of course he would question anyone’s citizenship. When it comes to immigration and the question of who is welcome here, Trump is the culmination of a festering bipartisan mess and a numbingly complicit public. When will we connect the dots? When will we fully face what’s in front of us? Who gets to exercise their rights as U.S. citizens, and why?
