    Most foreign born Americans. I have a feeling there’s already a list of people who can stay. A short one. Populated by billionaire conservatives and eastern European former models.

    Notice the terminology. Working to expand effort means that they are going ahead with that plan. This is not a drill.

    If you have some citizens with real citizenship and other citizens with provisional, revocable citizenship, then you have created a system, both in theory and in practice, with first-class and second-class citizens.

    Yet I have a feeling those of us who really were born here are never going to have a citizenship advantage over the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Patrick Soon-Shiong, and so on.

    Ok so the expansion plan is the justices department pushing to have any naturalized citizen lose their citizenship if they commit a crime.

    It’s a BS policy (personally I think citizenship should be rendered impossible to revoke) but that is my understanding of the plan

      Based on the article it appears they’re targeting naturalized citizens, but as someone who was born in Germany because my dad was in the Army, this is still concerning. Here I was just thinking I only had to fear for my permanent resident husband… I really hate this timeline.
