This will be GOP-Tea Baggers-Koch Brothers next ploy – Strip citizenship from Americans whom they don’t like!

While most Western countries regard citizenship a right, Britain’s Home Secretary Teresa May called it “a privilege, not a right,” and the government’s program of removing citizenship from selected naturalized citizens is beginning to stir public debate, and other countries are watching closely.

A bill giving the Canadian government deprivation powers is in Parliament, and Australia and the Netherlands are considering similar legislation.

Forty-two people in Britain have had their citizenship removed since 2006, 20 in the past year. The formal procedure typically takes place while the citizen is out of the country, rendering him or her stateless. Israel, by comparison, has used the process only three times since 2000.
