good but not near strong enough. I keep waiting for Trump to get after this but I see unnecessary dawdling.
a horrible idea
just giving government more power to lord over us peasents.
I believe that joining a foreign army is one of the few explicitly enumerated ways to immediately forfeit your United States citizenship. This was true long before Donald Trump became President.
Has Cruz consulted with the White House to coordinate strategies, or is he just going freelance?
Or just try them as traitors and punish accordingly.
Does ISIS have a membership list?
He needs to add language removing this act from the jurisdiction of inferior courts.
Otherwise it will never get enforced.
And for good measure, revoke Lyn’ Ted’s citizenship and send him to Cuba or Canada.
I like the idea of terminating their citizenship, but expect the Left to try to apply this against anyone who went to fight against ISIS.
I believe that 8 U.S.C. 1481 already covers that. Section (a), paragraph 7: "a person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality...committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow, or bearing arms against, the United States, violating or conspiring to violate any of the provisions of section 2383 of title 18, or willfully performing any act in violation of section 2385 of title 18, or violating section 2384 of title 18 by engaging in a conspiracy to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them," though that does require that the person be convicted of doing so. Maybe Cruz's law takes the conviction requirement off?
screw the courts
do it !
Why isn’t it being done already?
***** Needs to be worded in a way it cannot come back to bite Christians if ever Dems or socialists etc get into power and want to vote to label certain religious groups as terrorist groups. They already think and say it at times. They could then revoke our citizenship.
Where was this BIG MOUTH attention hog idea man last year?
Gosh he’s ever so worried about the U.S. now.
Hack, spit...
This proposed law shall NEVER pass, considering the Resistance we have seen against the travel restriction of last week. The muzzies are already snickering among themselves.
What is Cruz thinking?
Treason and execution.
It would make so much more sense to declare Islam to be NOT a religion but a political movement bent on the destruction of US constitutional principles. This way, we can declare muzzies as enemies of the US and can therefore reject them. Islam is NOT compatible with and presents a direct threat to our civilization and our very existence.
I’d let them keep their citizenship, then you can charge them with TREASON.
Treason carries the death penalty, otherwise they’re just an enemy combatant or Izlamic terrorist and they can rot at Gitmo until the cows come home.
