Long overdue and commonsensical.
“Trump administration launches new unit to strip US citizenship from foreign-born terrorists, criminals,” by Adam Shaw, Fox News, February 26, 2020:
The Trump administration is establishing a new section within the Justice Department to deal with the process of removing citizenship from foreign-born individuals who fraudulently obtained citizenship by failing to disclose past convictions for serious crimes — including terrorism and war crimes.
The section, which will be within the DOJ’s Office of Immigration Litigation, will be dedicated to denaturalizing those who had failed to disclose they had been involved in criminal activity on their N-400 form for naturalization. It requires the government to show that citizenship was obtained illegally or “procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.”
That form includes questions asking whether an applicant has been involved in genocide and torture among other serious crimes, if they have ever been part of a terrorist or totalitarian organization, if they had been associated with the Nazi government in Germany, and if they have been charged or convicted with a crime or served prison time. Targets for denaturalization are those who have made material breaches of those questions.
“When a terrorist or sex offender becomes a U.S. citizen under false pretenses, it is an affront to our system — and it is especially offensive to those who fall victim to these criminals,” Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt said. “The new Denaturalization Section will further the Department’s efforts to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship status and ensure that they are held accountable for their fraudulent conduct.”…

Wonderful development! His first goal is protecting the country that he loves. Obama’s first goal was destroying the country that he hates.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s a good and even great idea based on logic ,reason and old fashioned sense to take away the US citizenship obtain by the disingenuous and outright lying Muslim terrorists with all their deception as well as murderous intentions and actions
As for example those Boston Marathon jihadists bombers who obtained US citizenship by their false and lying words they wrote and spoke to become American citizens. The wicked and murderous fruits of their Islamic lie and deception became clear during that Boston marathon bombing and the murder by shooting of a police officer later that very night. by on of those two brother bombers.
Another example ,out of many, is that New York City Halloween day Muslim/jihadist truck driver who in his brutal and vicious jihad ran down and over and thus murdered and number of people .
This specific jihadist also had become a US citizen by his false and ling words of Islamic deception, Taqiyya
Therefore the President Trump and his administration are wisdom and understanding by this new policy and unit to handle this insidious and dangerous violent jihad threat

A proactive way of going about this that would lead to greater security for the American people would be to create a unit to deal with the natural born enablers of foreign born terrorists.

Agree with Trump; they lied, they are OUT.

I hope that will include their families that live here also. No way the families dont know the history of the perpetrator, I would think that is some type of aiding and abetting.
This is a good start, and btw, Im not sick of winning.

“Long overdue and commonsensical.”
yes but
Why were these checks not made when they applied for citizenship?
That is why there is a ban to visitors from countries that have really bad records and and you do not know who is who and what have they done.

Also if someone comes in, and they get citizenship and commit a terrorist attack, they should be stripped of their citizenship and when they have served their sentence – if they don’t get the death penalty – they should be deported.
Look at Europe, after these Muslim immigrant men serve time in prison for plotting a terrorist attack – they then commit a terrorist attack on release. Most Muslims in Europe have dual citizenship, they should be stripped of their citizenship, and on release, deported. Same with the rapists and the groomers who target children.
In Holland for example, Moroccan immigrants are not allowed to drop their Moroccan citizenship – [even children born to Dutch-Moroccans are not free to choose the child’s name – the Moroccan government provides them or the Dutch authorities with an approved list of acceptable Muslim names!] This is where their citizenship can be stripped. Germany has tried this for Muslims born in Germany, successfully and unsuccessfully.
If a person has no loyalty to the country and further poses a national security threat – what are they doing there?

R Cole, where is the Netherlands enforcing Muslims giving their children Muslim names? Do you have links?

R Cole, I AGREE and every day I ask myself why is Justine Trudeau not charged with treason.
