American citizens who worked for the Nazis were treated none too gently. I see no difference between and these miscreants.

“....should be exiled from the country....”

.
So that they can illegally enter it through our open borders and enter their safe houses, awaiting their instructions from Al-Baghdadi.

Ted, you and your fellow congress critters are not very swift are you?

A final solution has to be considered or it will be lights out for America.

So sorry.

Causes of Citizenship Loss U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. These acts include:

1.Obtaining naturalization in a foreign state; Taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions;

2.Entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state;

3.Accepting employment with a foreign government if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) a declaration of allegiance is required in accepting the position;

4.Formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a U.S. consular officer outside the United States; Formally renouncing U.S. citizenship within the U.S. (but only "in time of war");

5.Conviction for an act of treason.

Seems to me that number 2 could be applied. They're calling themselves the Islamic state and have clearly declared themselves to be at war with us.

Our current administration coddles and protects Radical Islam. So don’t look for anything to be done to stop Radical Islam in this country. In fact, LW Democrats overwhelmingly will do anything to protect Radical Islam

Are non-Citizens, such as the Illegal Obama Wetbacks, basically Jihadists without proof of citizenship?
