When a naturalized citizen commits terrorism in the United States, current law makes revoking citizenship extremely difficult unless fraud in the naturalization process can be proven.

That gap leaves serious national security concerns, and it’s a reality we have to confront head on.

Current law makes revoking citizenship extremely difficult.

System flawed but the democrats love it it’s in their best interest for votes.

If it was easy to revoke citizenship, how long would it be before it was weaponized against conservatives by the radical left?

This being said, I am all in favor of the recent move to make legal emigration cheaper.

yes, this is well-known

but would Congress ever change the law to enable easier deportations of such people?

let’s see if Congress passes the law requiring proof of citizenship to vote

It looks like a firing squad is the only solution we have left.

Sadly, you’re right. Even a Republican-controlled Congress would get cold feet, even though it’s a common sense approach to the problem.

Yope, people have to prove great character to became citizens!
Once naturalized, they are 100% equal!
Can vote, live, get job, run for congress, get security clearance, and, unfortunately, sometimes also commit crime.
Obviously, if they do, they will go to jail, just like the other citizens!

The naturalization process could be strengthened, but the current law actually makes sense.
If you get naturalized without cheating, it is yours to keep!

Why don’t Republicans change the laws then? If Democrats want to protect “naturalized” citizens who then commit major crimes, let them stand up and be counted.

If convicted of terrorism, they should be stripped of citizenship immediately.

We have trivialized, minimized, ridiculed, and given away our freedom[s] until people no longer cherish them. They are taken for granted. We enjoyed freedom people in other Nations did not have. WE have given to the Government 99% of the freedoms our forefathers fought and died for. For a false security. Gun and weapon Commercial air travel are only two of them. Space does not them all to be numerated. If they so chooses, the Government will allow, under numerous restrictions and penalties them to be enjoyed.

The Left says, “Vote your Salvation!” And, the dummies on the Right, agree.

So much for Limited Government.

There are 20 millions of illegals here and bunch of permanent residents who also do not deserve to be here!
Maybe we should first clean them out?!
These denaturalization ideas look to me like some Democratic sinister plot to scare naturalized citizens to vote Democratic.
“See, if you do not vote for us, Trump is going to denaturalize and deport you, if you just get a traffic ticket!”
