You can be thrown out of the country, but you will forever be born an American.

Factually incorrect? Whatever are you on about?

Without doing your usual dance will you explain to me where a born American will be sent to when he is thrown out?

What are you on about now? Puerto Rico, Canada, Morocco, Switzerland, Australia, Korea.

It doesn't matter. It had nothing to do with my point. And I know you aren't that obtuse. The point is that someone who is born an American can never have that "bornness" revoked.

This is the same way Catholics view sacraments, like Baptism and Holy Orders. You can't make someone be "unborn in America." You can't "unbaptise" someone. And you can't "disorder" a priest.
