Natural born US citizens cannot be kicked out for ANY reason.

Expatriation

I thought treason was one of the reasons that you could be kicked out.

Nope, the worse you can get is life imprisonment. Of course, you can always choose to leave before your trial.


-------

Wrong. under a federal immigration law called IRRIRA, passed about 12 yrs ago, your citizenship (if naturalized) can be revoked under certain circumstances. Pretty sure that law was written by the same idiots running the state of Arizona at present.


Reading comprehension is not your strong suit is it. Yes, if you are naturalized you can get kicked out for any number of reasons, including something as simple as lying on the naturalization forms. However, if you are natural born (that, you were born in one of the 5 states and have a birth certificate issued by said state), then your citizen is yours until you choose to revoke it.

PP--you're a jerk.

Why becasue I pointed out that you cannot read - next time you get the urge to spew your "knowledge" with such certain make sure that you understand the issue at hand.

I went to a bar/restuarant Friday night. I walked in and went up the bar to order a drink. A guy standing there looked at me and says "You voted for Obama didn't you?" I side step the question as there is no way I'm having that conversation with a drunk guy in Old Town. Then he asks my name. After I told him he says "Oh. I thought you were going to say Obamaniqua or something!" I was pretty pissed but not surprised as so many people on this thread have shown they subscribe to the same generalizations and stereotypes as this guy. He was just kind enough to say it to my face.

Jaron is like the hebrew name Yaron. It jugs me when they get it/ prnouce it wrong. I don't really care what the wrong name they think it is, but I just dont get why they can't get it right.

Not seeing a pronunciation difference between Jaron and Jerron. Do you pronounce Mary and Merry differently too?

Um, Mary and Merry ARE pronounced differently. Certain regional dialects will pronounce them the same but otherwise they do have different pronunciations. Just like Jaron and Jerron.

I've known 2 women named "Merry", both pronounced "Mary". Just curious...how does it sound when you wish someone a "Merry Christmas"?

That's another reason I was ticked off. I had just walked in not 5 minutes before. I had done or said anything to anyone. My offense was showing up Black. Although I do wonder how he decides to find out which non-Blacks voted for Obama
