#1 Sounds like a solid plan of action. Willing others can be trained to manage convenience stores and airport security posts.

#2 Dual citizenship is a joke. Kill it every chance you get, John.

#4 Dual citizenship is a joke.

Not necessarily; it depends on who #2 is. The proprietor of Right-Thinking-from-the-Left-Coast, if I recall correctly, has dual Australian/U.S. citizenship.

#5 Dual citizenship is fine. But if they're convicted of a terrorist act, or even of stealing, rape or straight out murder then deport, deport, deport them to the motherland!

#6 A citizen convicted of treason should be shot. A non-citizen accused of the same crime is a spy, and should be shot.

I'm not sure I see any reason to worry about citizenship status.

#7 RJ,

Agreed. Deporting them only means that they set up shop somewhere else in the world. Dead, please.

#8 Having citizenship or not doesn't make a difference here in the states. In fact we have millions of folks that aren't citizens, and not only are they not citizens, they can do horrible crimes and then scoot back across the border and not be held accountable because we believe in the death penalty. So they have their country as a safe haven.
Drives me nuts.

#9 if I recall correctly, has dual Australian/U.S. citizenship.
Sorry, incorrect.
Ahnold is a German from Austria, Not an Ozzite.

#12 It's not like the Magic Kingdom has ever had any problem with the idea of revoking citizenship. Just ask Osama Bin Ladin
