They are not alone but this crap should stop.
State Department Refutes WaPo Story — Passports To Citizens Denied More Under Obama Than Trump
The Washington Post published an article about the U.S. government choosing not to renew the passports of people born near the border, as they are skeptical that those people were actually born in the country. It’s not until the ninth paragraph that the article begins to address that the policy began under the Bush administration and continued under Obama.
The article was titled, “U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question” and was written by Kevin Sieff.
The article addressed the problems faced by “a growing number of people whose official birth records show they were born in the United States but who are now being denied passports.”
The fourth paragraph referenced President Trump, saying, “The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown.”
But five paragraphs later, the article clarifies, “The State Department during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations denied passports to people who were delivered by midwives in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley.”
So in spite of the fact that this informal policy began under previous administrations, the article first connects it to President Donald Trump.
State Dept sets the record straight.
"The State Department is pushing back on a Washington Post article claiming that the number of American citizens living near the southern border area being denied renewal passports is rising under Trump.
In fact, the number of domestic passport denials at the southern border is at a six-year low and the number of midwife cases has gone down under the current administration.
Further, the 2015 calendar year had more renewal denials at the border than any year in that timeframe with approximately 1,500. That year also had the highest percentage of denials at 35.9 percent in respect to the number of birth certificates that were deemed “potentially fraudulent” over the same time period.
Conversely, less than 750 people had passports not renewed"

Do the facts suggest what Wapo asserted, that “passport denials and revocation appear to be surging” under President Trump?
uh NO. Think Wapo will retract? They are the print version of CNN
