Stephen Miller's Scheme To Strip Your Citizenship!

Summary

The transcript discusses Steven Miller's proposal to initiate a denaturalization process in 2025, targeting naturalized citizens. It explores the concept of Birthright Citizenship, which grants U.S. citizenship to children born on U.S. soil, and outlines three categories of citizenship: natural-born, naturalized, and Birthright citizens. The conversation highlights Judge James Ho’s comments on limiting Birthright Citizenship, especially in cases involving undocumented immigrants, potentially framing their children as part of an 'invading army.' This shift could dramatically alter U.S. citizenship laws, particularly affecting non-white, naturalized citizens.
