"Denaturalization" [View all]

...as per Trump's latest online holiday greeting screed.

Not that it seems plausible at the moment, but my mother was naturalized.

About 70 years ago.

And she's protested Trump.

This might seem like reductio ad absurdum, but I suppose she could get denaturalized under this school of thought.

Obviously, I don't think that's going to happen. She's been a citizen for 70 years, and lived here for 75. She's a white Christian of European descent. There's too few boxes to check.

But even so, just the mere thought of it sends shivers down my spine.
