The Trump administration says it wants to establish a quota for next year to denaturalize up to 200 American citizens per month.

    I am okay with illegal immigrants being turned away as we have no idea about their criminal history and ignoring them allows drug dealers and gangs to sneak through.

    But this is too far. Taking away the citizenship of those who have worked to legally become American for no reason but to hit a quota is not okay.

      illegal immigrants being turned away

      This sentence makes no sense. “Turned away” implies that they are rejected at the border. If they’re rejected at the border, at no point are they illegal immigrants, they’re just people who want to pass the border for whatever reason. The only way they can become illegal immigrants is if they pass the border and are not turned away at the border.

      we have no idea about their criminal history and ignoring them allows drug dealers and gangs to sneak through

      This is Fox News propaganda. Drug dealers and gang members aren’t taking their passports to a checkpoint and asking to please be admitted. If they’re “sneaking through”, it’s because the US has one of the largest borders in the world, and it’s effectively impossible to police all 9000 km of border, and it’s obviously also unrealistic to build a secure wall covering all 9000 km.

      This post exhibits the sort of well meaning, small thinking, gently heeled bias that greases the cogs of fascists.
