(90,902 posts)But I also think those who stormed the Capitol should be stripped of their citizenship. Once you foment insurrection, you're a traitor.
Give them Permanent Resident status instead.
One of the responsibilities of those with Green Card status is "Expected to support the democratic form of government."
If they can show an active and evidenced willingness of that support for 10 years, they can have their citizenship restored. Support they must continue from that point on or go back to Green Card status for the remainder of their life.
And there needs to be random checks at least 4 times a year to check on how and if they are supporting the democratic form of government.
They still have to pay taxes but they won't be able to vote with Permanent Resident status. They can work, but some jobs they won't be able to hold for national security reasons.
But that's just me and I'm still very much pissed at these violent pieces of shit.
