President Donald Trump wants the government to sell citizenship for $5 million via a  “Gold Card,” but lax border laws allow companies to privately sell citizenship at birth for several thousand dollars going straight into their pockets. In Florida, an immigrant Brazilian doctor named Wladimir Lorentz told the Washington Post that he helped provide slices of Americans’ valuable citizenship to 2,500 infants and their parents at a cost of roughly $20,000 per birth: His company, Have My Baby in Miami, opened in 2015. The service was focused on medical care — connecting international mothers to a multilingual team of care providers…
