GOP Pushes To Strip Citizenship From Terrorists

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

There is a new push by President Trump and GOP lawmakers to strip the citizenship of people who commit fraud, serious felonies or join or supply support to terrorist organizations. The 'Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act', introduced by Sen. Schmitt (R-MO) and Rep. Emmer (R-MN), would facilitate the denaturalization of individuals who commit serious crimes. The call for this new legislation comes after one naturalized citizen, originally from Lebanon, allegedly rammed his vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and another naturalized citizen, originally from Sierra Leone, allegedly opened fire at Old Dominion University, killing one, in separate incidents that happened on the same day this month. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Gene Hamilton, the Executive Director/Vice President of America First Legal, and former Senior Counselor to the Secretary of Homeland Security and top aide to the DOJ, who explains how the naturalization process, and denaturalization process, can be reformed to better protect us.
