Because it's lining his pockets and they are not brown.
Anatoliy Kuzmin held out his daughters blue U.S. passport over a red Russian one and snapped a photo from a Florida beach.
Woohoo! Got dual citizenship for my daughter! he wrote on Instagram.
American citizenship for the newborn girl was the goal of Kuzmin and his Instagram-celebrity wife, who sought the help of birth-tourism services in Florida for the arrival of their first child. They are among the estimated hundreds of Russian parents who flock to the U.S. annually for warm weather, excellent medical care, and, more importantly, birthright American citizenship.
And many, like Kuzmin and his wife, stay at President Donald Trumps properties in Florida.

(2,682 posts)don't understand that Trump's opposition to "chain immigration" means their US-born child will not give them free access to US. Is this another bait and switch sales plan Trump and Kushner have been pushing to rich foreigners?
