    One of the defining things about citizenship is the right to live in the place you have citizenship.

    This one is interesting, because they are proposing to revoke the citizenship and deport them.

      I understood them, but I’d argue it’s utterly asinine. If you strip citizenship you’ve created a stateless person, which is mostly avoided where possible - but let’s imagine for a second this was the case. What do you do with a stateless person? They don’t have the right to reside anywhere, every country has the right to refuse entry to them. How do you deport someone when no-one will accept them? Just leave them on runways around the world?

      How long before they’re put on a return flight? How long before everyone closes borders with your country because you’re leaving 1000s of criminals on runways around the world?
