Australian MP Urges Deportation of Terrorists, Even If Citizens

Would annul grant of citizenship, arguing it was obtained through fraud.

Sounds good to me. Not sure it would fly here where the Constitution is inviolable (except where liberal judges decide it isn't).

AllahPundit's Legal Brief: Citizenship isn't inviolable, Allah says:

Check Title 8 of the U.S. Code. There are grounds in there for denaturalizing U.S. citizens that have withstood constitutional scrutiny. E.g., one statute in there empowers the DOJ to strip Nazi war criminals of their citizenship and deport them to their country of origin.

Hmmm... I wonder if that's based on nondisclosure of past crimes and associations, though. It might be harder to deport someone who wasn't clearly a member of a terrorist group before applying for citizenship.

Damnit! Muliple instances loose shit in the same post. The "Liberal Party" in Australia is the conservative party (Labor are the lefties). So that blows my whole liberals-are-coming-around sentence.

I could use multiple layers of painstaking fact checking myself. About eight or nine layers should do the trick, working 'round the clock to keep these embarrassing gaffes off this dumb blog.
