That sentiment makes me VERY uncomfortable; if the government is able to “question” (read: “possibly revoke”) your citizenship then ALL rights secured to the citizen by the Constitution are not rights, but privileges granted by the state.

There is a lot to be uncomfortable about when a republic is made to morph a democracy.. especially this unique kind republic we have.. maybe had..

This republic was not setup to be run by Mob Rule by mobsters.. when illegal aliens can “vote” as if they were citizens.. and legal aliens are looked on as citizens.. when they are NOT..

I’m not sure Americans even know what a citizen is anymore.. Its easy to revoke or instate citizenship in a system where the very word means nothing.. And after invoked or revoked what you have is nebulous..

I suggest you remove yourself from you’re PollyAnna state and look at reality.. What a citizen is in the United States now is on a sliding scale.. As is many other words... like say...... treason.. sedition.. Trojan Horse.. They don’t mean what they used to mean... anymore..
