Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is renewing a push for Congress to pass legislation that would revoke the citizenship of any American who tries to join the Islamic State or other terrorist groups.
Cruz thinks that banning people from terrorist-stricken countries from entering the U.S. only deals with half of the problem, and that the federal government also needs to worry about U.S. citizens who may try the same thing.
"If an American citizen travels abroad and joins a terrorist group waging jihad on America, attempting to murder innocent Americans, this legislation would strip that individual of their U.S. citizenship, so that we would not have terrorists returning to America using U.S. passports," Cruz told the Washington Examiner.

Where was this BIG MOUTH attention hog idea man last year?
Gosh he’s ever so worried about the U.S. now.
Hack, spit...
“......I see unnecessary dawdling.”
Just how many damn fights can one man have all at the same time? Your comment is stupid.
“Hack, spit...”
Ditto.
Heaven help the folks who can’t see this chameleon for who he is, because their own brains won’t.
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.
Heaven help the folks who can’t see this chameleon for who he is, because their own brains won’t.

IMO, Cruz is laying the groundwork for reelection in 2018 which at the end of that six year
term he’ll run for President again which will be the end of President Trumps eight years..
Yes, I agree. And frankly, I don’t rule him out before that.
He has such a high opinion of himself, and his fawning masses do as well.
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.
like Columbus ?
Cruz would run in the next Presidential race if President Trump didn’t or has declined in
popularity. I’m hoping that isn’t the case and Trump can be successful enough to win a
second term.
Huh?
I agree that he would under that scenario. In that scenario it would be an opening.
I’m not convinced he would limit himself to only this sort of opening. There’s always the GOPe/Glenn Beck factors to be figured in.
I too hope that Trump is successful, and runs for a second term.
If he did, it would be because he had helped our nation considerably. Everyone should wish for it, especially Conservatives.
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.
Rafael won't be eligible in 2024, 2030, 2034, or ever.
Rafael won’t be eligible in 2024

I don’t disagree but that didn’t stop him from his attempt in 2016.
Our founders assumed only honorable men would run.
You sound like a troll to me. The man’s only been in office 3 weeks. You think you could do a better job?
