Cruz Bill: Become a Terrorist, Lose your Citizenship
Saturday, 06 Sep 2014 12:35 PM
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz plans to introduce legislation next week aimed at stripping U.S. citizenship from anyone providing support to or fighting with terror organizations. His proposal comes after reports that at least 100 Americans have joined the ranks of the Islamic State (ISIS).
"Americans who choose to go to Syria or Iraq to fight with vicious ISIS terrorists are party to a terrorist organization committing horrific acts of violence, including beheading innocent American journalists who they have captured," Cruz said in a statement, reports The Hill.
"There can be no clearer renunciation of their citizenship in the United States, and we need to do everything we can to preempt any attempt on their part to re-enter our country and carry out further attacks on American civilians."
Cruz said he plans to file the Expatriate Terrorist Act as a reaction to threats posed by ISIS in order to help keep extremists from re-entering the United States.
The bill would result in such people renouncing their citizenship "with the intent of supplanting his U.S. citizenship with loyalty to a terrorist organization," said Cruz, and the legislation would apply to people who provide support to foreign terrorist groups.
The Cruz proposal would amend a current federal law passed in 1940 that allows the government to strip the citizenship of any person who votes in another country's elections or who joins the military forces of countries at war with the United States.
"I am hopeful that we will see Republicans and Democrats come together in support of the legislation I'm introducing to provide that any American that takes up arms and fights with ISIS forfeits his or her U.S. citizenship." the potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate said while announcing the bill Friday at an event in Brazos Valley, Texas, reports CNN affiliate KTXN.
On Thursday, another potential candidate, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, also called for passports to be revoked from people who become active with terrorist groups.
"We should revoke passports from any Americans or dual citizens who are fighting with ISIS," Rand said in in an op-ed he wrote for Time Magazine.
Earlier this year, President Barack Obama signed legislation Cruz proposed to prevent a U.N. ambassador from entering the United States if that ambassador was a known terrorist.
He filed his bill after Iran named an ambassador to the United Nations who had links to the group responsible for the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, The Hill reports.

Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.

Since they're jacking up the price to voluntarily renounce ones' US citizenship, that could be a way to preserve a little more wealth on the road to becoming an expat.
It's the bankers fault !

One article about how it's becoming more expensive to renounce your US citizenship, then this, the free way, apparently, to do it.

In order for this proposed law to be enforced the Supreme Court would have to overturn Afroyim v. Rusk.

Negative. If you want to take your assets and leave, the $2350 fee is peanuts in the large scheme of things.
Two DemRat senators, Schumer and Casey, have cooked up SUPER punitive exit tax legislation for US citizens renouncing their citizenship. The DemRats are sitting on it in senate until after the Nov/14 election. It's supposed to "enhance" the existing 1986 evil ex-pat legislation.
Dems want to clean the pockets of middle class US citizens so the exit taxes can pay for the penniless unskilled uneducated future DemRat voting illegals.
Makes perfect sense if you're Comrades Schumer and Casey. They got the idea from another Bolshevik brainiac, Comrade Jerry Brown. Nice!

Those interested in renouncing should be aware of the exit tax. So far, the impact that the exit tax has on a U.S. person’s decision to leave the United States is relatively insignificant. However, that could soon change. After Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin departed for Singapore, Senators Chuck Schumer and Bob Casey introduced a bill to double the exit tax to 30% for anyone leaving the U.S. for tax reasons. Fortunately, it has happened yet. But in the event that it were to come to fruition, it may well impact a person’s decision to renounce, since taxes are a big reason why people renounce.
What must you do if you want to expatriate? First, you must prove 5 years of U.S. tax compliance. To the extent that your net worth is greater than $2 million or you have an average annual net income tax for the last five years of $157,000 or more for 2014 (that’s tax, not income), you’ll pay an exit tax.
The exit tax is nothing more than a capital gain tax, no different than if you sold your property when you left. Thankfully, there’s an exemption, albeit a not very generous one if you own assets that are in the seven figures. For 2014, the exemption is $680,000.
Long-term residents giving up a Green Card are not exempt. They can be required to pay the tax too.
If what you’ve read so far has caused you some apprehension on whether this is right for you, what you are about to hear might just stop you dead in your tracks. Recently, the State Department raised the fee for renunciation of U.S. citizenship from $450 to $2,350. Critics note that it’s more than twenty times the average level in other high-income countries.
The State Department justifies this fee increase on the grounds that the high demand has put a strain on their already scarce resources, resulting in existing employees having to take on additional responsibilities in order to process people who are on their way out.

I don't know about any other country besides Brazil but I do know that it doesn't matter how long you may have lived in Brazil and even if you are married to a Brazilian citizen you won't vote in their elections. And you won't run for office there either, not if you weren't born there.

I do that on a regular basis. Of course, I believe in the policies of George Washington, "Friends and trading partners with all, favorites to none." ;)

Now that is just a bit strange, but maybe they wish to keep it all in the family.

Here, you cannot be President if you were not born here. That bring Obummer's real place of birth into question. ;)

Yeah, but they will never get it on paper to confirm its veracity. ;)

They have both on youtube video. I have seen (and posted) both of those plus one of the Kenyan ambassador saying that Obama was born there.
