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.
I’m not sure about losing the citizenship part. But pretty sure that it would count as treason - so just execute them. (I suppose that would indirectly revoke their citizenship too.)
Nope.....You personally have to sign off to forfeit your citizenship.
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?
Well, if you’re a Muslim, go back to some throat-slitting, putrid, desert, shit-hole.
Theatrics. Cruz is good at this and knows it will go nowhere.
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.
Cruz has some great ideas. This is one of them.
Unless the laws have been changed since 1957, I am a naturalized citizen, and I was taught in citizenship classes that were required back then, that U. S. citizenship via naturalization is a gift of the U.S. gov’t and can be rescinded if the naturalized citizen commits a felony, followed by deportation.
we have MB strategically placed in positions such as “refugee director” amid completely psychiatric interfaith church organizations contracting for ME refugees.
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.
