I'm deeply displeased with their treatment of legal residents here, but denaturalizing a citizen is about a million times more severe than deporting a legal resident alien. The executive has pretty much unlimited authority to decide which non-citizens are allowed to enter or stay within the country, and has for a long time, whereas that's not the case with denaturalization.
- ty6853 2y agoDoes knowingly blowing up a citizen with a drone count as denaturalization?
- wat10000 2y agoCase in point. People are still talking about that one guy more than all the other victims combined.
- nico 2y agoNot sure about denaturalization, but this is getting pretty extreme already (USCIS, effective immediately, is screening immigrants for criticism of Israel): https://www.reddit.com/r/UnitedNations/comments/1jw8gyv/all_us_immigrants_to_be_screened_for_israel/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UnitedNations/comments/1jw8gyv/all_...
- wat10000 2y agoIt is, but this is still far less severe than denaturalizing a citizen. The executive has pretty much total discretion over which non-citizens they allow into the country. That power isn't anything new, it just wasn't abused like this before. Denaturalization for anything besides fraudulently obtaining citizenship would be a serious change, not just applying existing power in ugly ways.
