US politicians want to cancel citizenships
vendredi 26 septembre 2014 à 14:00US politicians want to cancel the citizenship of people that support ISIS.
There are crimes that we have good reason to punish, some by life imprisonment, but denial of citizenship is never legitimate. (It also violates treaties to make someone stateless.)
Sad to say, the US has a history of revoking citizenship of immigrants for political reasons. For instance, Emma Goldman's US citizenship was revoked because of her political activities: draft resistance and birth control.
