President Donald Trump says he wants to end to the constitutional right of citizenship for babies born in the United States to non-U.S. citizens. Trump made the comments on the television program “Axios on HBO.” They come a week before general elections, also called mid-term elections. The name comes from the fact that they come half way through the president's four-year term in office. The Associated Press reports that the president wants to energize his supporters and help the Republican Party keep control of Congress. Trump has expressed concern about a large group of Central American migrants walking across Mexico toward the U.S. border. On Monday, the Trump administration announced it is sending thousands of troops to the border area. The president has said he will build tent cities for those seeking asylum.
