“Legislation that grants the government the ability to strip citizenship from Americans is a serious matter, raising significant constitutional issues,” she said.
Mr. Cruz said in response that there is an “urgency and an exigency’ to the situation.
“It is unfortunate that Democratic senators chose to object to this to prevent this common-sense change in law, and I would note when it comes to the constitutional concerns, I don’t know if anyone in this Senate has been more vigorous or more consistent in terms of defending the constitutional rights of Americans that I have endeavored to be during my short tenure here,” he said. “I will yield to no one in passion for defending constitutional liberties … it is current law right now that if you go and join a foreign nation and take up arms against America, that act has long been recognized as constituting a constructive renunciation of United States citizenship.”**
I can understand objecting to summarily stripping citizenship, but once it's established that a citizen has joined a terrorist organization that is sworn destroy the United States and kill Americans, that should be enough.
Typical Dem pol response...”What, you want me to agree to reduce the number of people who vote for me? I would lose ten votes for each person we strip citizenship from. Are you nuts?”
Dimocraps are the key advocates of Islamic terrorism. This is FACT
Hawaii should be expelled from the union.
It amazes me that sometimes things are simple, yet our elected officials complicate it and screw it up.
No, we keep Hawaii and expel anti-American foreigners like Mazie Hirono, who still thinks Japan should have won the war.
Why she’s in the Senate, i cant say.
Probably the same way a dual national named Soetoro occupies the White Hut.
We know now that the Democrats are on the side of terrorists. So why aren’t they in prison for treason?
Silly question. Never mind.
Don’t strip citizenship - besides: Congress has no such power.
Charge them with treason and execute them.
I also find it amusing that the Dems pull out the Constitution and wave it as a defense when it suits their purpose. The rest of the time...not so much.
“Don’t strip citizenship - besides: Congress has no such power.
Charge them with treason and execute them.”
The Democrats are the buddies of the infamous, lousy muslim bums, period!
There! I said it!
Does anyone need any more proof that the democrat party has sold itself to America-hating jihadis?
I can’t think of any topic requiring to go more viral and mass-Emailed than this one!
I am curious how the bill defines ISIS. Because they’re not Islamic, you know. And they seek to rule the Levant which includes Israel.
The Dems love ISIS.
Give it the same status as Puerto Rico.
Losing US citizenship isn’t as big deal as it used to be. For those who want to renounce citizenship without paying the exit fee, claiming to support ISIS could be an alternative.
But this IS, ISIS, ISIL stuff is a big shell game. IS is composed of Al Qaeda and Islamic extremists. 0bama is the one who supported the MB, and Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria. Benghazi was about a transshipment of arms to Al Qaeda in Syria.
The Dems will block this bill because their leader runs ISIS.
Best solution. It would certainly give those about to aid the enemy some pause.
The ‘RATS are counting on these terrorist maggots in November.

I agree with that.
