Creating situations for our government to arbitrate our right to citizenship is very dangerous. Any granting of such powers enables the government to further expand upon them, and deny the basic rights of citizenship. It is a pandoras box that must remain closed.

It was opened when the 14th was ratified, under the presumption that government has the right to define citizenship. Given the mess the courts made of it over the last seventy years, fixing the mess is our task, however hazardous it might be. The status quo cannot stand.

I do not trust the socialist government underwhich we now live to arbitrate such things. Nor should you.

The government can already take your land away if it looks actractive for commerce. Allowing them to take away citizenship means they can take everything you have, and deport you regardless of your parentry, residence, or birthplace.
