Danish-Born Islamic State Fighter Stripped of Citizenship

For the first time in Danish history, a citizen born in Denmark has had his citizenship revoked after being convicted of being a member of the Islamic State terror group.

Danish-born Muslim Enes Ciftci, 25, who is also a citizen of Turkey, was found guilty of supporting the terror group and sentenced to six years in prison and expulsion. The court found that Ciftci had expressed support for terrorist attacks committed by the group and had actively tried to raise funding for them, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation reports.

The case is the first time a Danish citizen born in the country has had their citizenship revoked. However, it is not the first time a foreign-born Islamic radical has been stripped of citizenship.

Last year, Muslim bookshop owner Said Mansour was the first criminal to be stripped of his Danish citizenship after being sentenced to four years in prison for supporting terrorist groups. Mansour, 56, came to Denmark from Morrocco as an adult in 1988.

He is also a citizen of Turkey because that’s where his parents are from. Children of foreign nationals inherit the citizenship of the parents.

That’s why the children of foreign nationals may be citizens if born here, but they are not naturally Americans, they are not natural born citizens.

Obama, Rubio, Jindal, Haley, George P. Bush, Kamala Harris, and Ted Cruz are not natural born citizens and are ineligible under the Constitution.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation should be proof enough to anyone that the founders were right.

A statutory citizen of the US can have their citizenship revoked. a natural born citizen can not be stripped of his citizenship. The issue of a child that was born on US soil is not settled by the 14th amendment and the cosponsor of the amendment, senator Jacob Howard illustrated this when he stated: “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, [or] who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.”

The eligibility clause of the constitution makes reference to a "natural born citizen" and states that only such a person is eligible to be POTUS as there was and is a legitimate fear of 1/3 of our government falling under foreign influence through the election of a POTUS with divided loyalty.

This fear was mitigated by declaring that only a person who could not possibly have loyalty to any other jurisdiction or sovereign would be eligible to be President. IOW, only a natural born citizen was eligible.

It is not hard to understand then that anyone born on US soil of illegal alien parents would be subject to the jurisdiction of more than one sovereign.

So, from statements made by the authors of the 14th amendment, we know that it was not their intent for the 14th amendment to confer automatic birthright citizenship to the children of aliens and from our understanding of what a natural born citizen is and what the intent of the eligibility clause was, we can deduce that the 14th amendment certainly does not confer natural born citizenship to children of aliens born on US soil.

It is worth noting that there has never been a POTUS that was born anywhere but within the US except for those who were specifically excepted in the eligibility clause itself and they are all long since dead.

The issue of Chester A. Arthur's birth place may be raised but it should be noted that every history book has his birthplace listed as Vermont. It is a matter of speculation that he was born anywhere else and he certainly never openly admitted to such a thing and for good reason, because he knew it would make him ineligible to be POTUS.

The issue of a person such as Ted Cruz running for POTUS is especially problematic as he openly admits that he was not born in the US and then attempted to establish a precedent which would clearly undermine the eligibility clause, the constitution, and national security. this is made even more troublesome because for the past 3 presidential elections, the voters have been forced to choose between increasingly ineligible candidates which suggests an orchestrated attempt to undermine the eligibility clause. Americans should be quick to reject any candidate that undermines the eligibility clause. That should be their default position because once the door is opened, it would be nearly impossible to close it and it would be only a matter of time before the executive branch fell under control of foreign agents.
