As another commenter said, only for naturalized (non-jus soli) citizens, and only under limited circumstances, such as lying during your application or bad behavior within a few years of being naturalized. You'd likely be deported to your home country.
- matttproud 5y agoThe United States uses jus sanguinis and jus soli. So this would be relevant for strictly cases of naturalization, which are neither, I believe. The paperwork you file as an American abroad for obtaining citizenship (jus sanguinis) through Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) has gotten more difficult over the years (it appears intentional) to trip up fallacious filings by making more mistakes. My most “favorite” memory: being stuck in a consular room at the embassy with my cellphone confiscated and being forced to enumerate all time intervals I was in the United States ever (lived or traveled into or via) for my entire life down to exact date accuracy for CRBA. Try doing that if — pre-pandemic — you had a lot of regular business travel.
