I guess many people here have not naturalised, whilst you can be chucked out, basically have your naturalisation revoked, it is not that common and extremely difficult to do. Like you forgot to mention you were a war criminal.

As an LPR. completely different situation. If you chose to engage in similar behaviour in the US it would be exceptional not to be booted out. See nothing wrong in that.

Mind you if you hate and despise the system so much, I would have thought going home was the logical option.

Yes, I know that. Thats why I specfically stated why I believe that BONA FIDE naturalization applicants should never be able to be thrown out. If you were a war criminal, chances are you knew you were at the time of your naturalization. Hence, you were never eligible to even enter the country, let alone naturalize. I was just making the point that bona fide applicants should (and are) be treated the same, and neither (bona fide Naturalized app's and natural born) should be deportable for whatever reason.


I didn't even mention anything about LPR's, totally irrelevant to what I said, but while we're on it.... sure they should be booted, LPR's are foreigners and are guests in the country. Every country has a law like this. However, I was specifically discussing naturalized applicants, because my point was that citizenship is a precious right, be it natural born or naturalized.

Nice, the "If you don't like it you can git out!" approach, usually said by those who haven't a leg to stand on when discussing such topics. Personally, I like the system very much, because unlike the OP's draconian ideals, the current system doesn't allow me to be deported, ever. And thats the way it should be. Also, it would be quite hard for me to "Go home" considering Im a US Citizen.

I have never seen mention of a case where someone has been de-naturalised for something done after they were naturalised. But the same way there are situations where a born USC can lose Citizenship, I guess there may be one or two more for non born USC's.

But we must be talking of a handfull if that.

How about this, if I had gone to live in France, I know many people who have done so, part time and full time, and I found it so objectionable I would have no problems someone telling me to piss off home.

Likewise say we have a fundamentalist US Gov at some point, no we do not now, and I find it totally unacceptable, then naturalised or not I do have that option to leave, something that may be difficult for a USC with no other nationality.

Personally I think leaving rather than firebombing my neighbours cars would be the way to go.

The only difference is that if we get to a point where we become so pissed off with life in the USA, then we can afford to leave. But the people rioting in France don't have two Euros to rub together, so leaving is not feasible for them. I'm a firm believer in the 'if you don't like it then piss off' option, but to some people it is not an option.

If you can afford to get there you can afford to leave.

Guessing the return trip might be a bit cheaper.
