Grayson vows to file lawsuit on Cruz citizenship

166. I'm saying that when you deploy the xenophobic genie

...you don't know where it goes.


YOU are the one saying that voting in a foreign election is some kind of disqualifying condition relative to US citizenship.

YOU are the one making the argument that a substantial number of US Jews should not be citizens.

It is the necessary implication of the argument you are making.

If voting in a foreign election somehow causes people to lose their US citizenship, then how do you avoid the conclusion of that breathtakingly inane comment.

I am pointing out what your argument necessarily implies.

This is the same shit the birthers would put out - if Barack Obama was adopted by Ann Dunham's Indonesian husband, then he "lost" his US citizenship and became an Indonesian citizen. It's based on the same set of broken ideas.

For all I know, Indonesia did consider the stepson of an Indonesian citizen to be one. Even if that were true, it wouldn't matter.

Because whether you are a US citizen is entirely between you and the US. If you were born here, then the US has to accept your voluntary adult revocation. You cannot lose birthright citizenship by ANY transaction conducted with a foreign government.
