If this is the best they can do about terrorism, America is in a bad way:
"A bipartisan group of legislators on Thursday introduced legislation in Congress to strip citizenship from any American found to be involved in terrorism.
If the Terrorist Expatriation Act passes, an American would lose citizenship if found to have provided material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization — as designated by the secretary of state — or participated in actions against the United States.
Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Connecticut, and Scott Brown, R-Massachusetts, co-sponsored the bill. An identical bill is being introduced in the House by Reps. Jason Altmire, D-Pennsylvania, and Charlie Dent, R-Pennsylvania.”

It seems reasonable to make support for terrorism a crime but what if the person's family have been in America for generations? Where are they going to be sent to? Or they just continue to live on in the USA as non-citizens?
All quite crazy and totally contrary to the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment protects even naturalized citizens, not only native born Americans. So the whole nonsense would almost certainly be knocked over by SCOTUS. It's all just for show -- to show that they are tough on terrorism! It in fact shows how weak and impotent they are
