Comment on YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt"

  Poland has citizenship by ancestors. If one of your grandparents (or maybe great grandparents?) were polish citizens you qualify to apply for citizenship. A number of European countries have options like that

    I looked into that, and I’m fairly sure I don’t qualify (I think most/all of my ancestors immigrated before 1920).

  if they sent me back to where my ancestors came from (Germany/Poland)

  Do you have citizenship in those countries?

  Because you might want to learn about statelessness

  I’m not sure if you would get citizenship in those countries just because the US is being autocratic.

  My situation tho: I was born in PRC so I had citizenship in China, but, the moment I obtained US Citizenship, according to PRC law, my PRC citizenship is automatically revoked.

  So if the US denaturalizes me, I’m so fucked lol. (Not to mention, my anti-CCP speech in the US isn’t gonna go well with pooh bear 👀)

    I mean, if the US stripped my citizenship and deported me to Germany or Poland, obviously I’d be a refugee at that point.

    But again, it wouldn’t ever get to that point because Trump’s ICE gestapo wouldn’t give a shit about what would be best for me and would make deliberately punitive decisions about what to do with me instead.

    Ditto for you, probably: you wouldn’t be headed to China; you’d be headed to CECOT too.
