    Obviously, the end goal is to ensure that nobody has any rights, just temporary privileges which can easily be stripped at the dictator’s whim. That way everyone is always afraid to stand up to them or they’ll get locked up, have their citizenship stripped, etc.

    Again, it won’t stop with immigrants. Maybe LGBTQ will be next, then anyone who displeases the Regime.

    USCIS spokesman Matthew J. Tragesser told NPR that the goal is to prioritize the denaturalization of people who have been found lying or misrepresenting themselves in the naturalization process

    …and from this source:

    “When they did fund us,” Kimbal Musk recalled, “they realized that we were illegal immigrants.”

    “Well…” Elon Musk interjected.

    “Yes, we were,” Kimbal Musk pushed back.

    Video of the remarks shows Elon Musk laughing as he jumped in with a different interpretation: “I’d say it was a gray area.”

    Wait, wait, wait. Naturalized citizens are legal citizens. I’m pretty sure that they and every thumb I argue with on Nextdoor has told me that all of this is just about enforcing laws. Goodness gracious, I’m starting to suspect that they are lying.

      Stephen Miller is an unabashed racist, white supremacist, and fascist who has turned his bigotry into national policy. He is a the puppeteer behind the entirety of Trump’s immigration policies. When this is over, he should be shot.

      Indeed, they were always lying, about nearly everything. Now these assholes have their masks off - see “JD” “Vance” saying that people no longer have to apologize for being white (as if that was ever a thing).

    We need to denaturalize every last MAGA voter when this is over - take away their ability to pull this shit here ever again.

    Maybe he wants to denaturalize Melania for not holding his hand.

    Though this idea definitely has Stephen Miller’s grubby hands all over it.

    Looks like it is time for the Red Scare 2.0! Anyone who is woke is up for deportation. Better not be woke! Definitely don’t ask us what woke is because that is also grounds for deportation.

    They can only do this with a credible claim legally. However, we know how much that word does not matter to this current regime…

      SCOTUS has been making everything the assholes do credible, or delaying any ruling against it until they’re finished.

    They won’t stop until they kill me. Not that that would stop the inevitable.

    They cant escape the karma that is coming to cleanse humanity once again.

    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.
