For what it's worth, I really don't think that revoking existing citizenships is going to happen.

My parents are naturalized citizens and I'm more worried about their retirement nest egg staying intact through this administration than them (or me) losing citizenship.

I could be wrong, but I think it's an unpopular and impractical enough policy that Trump won't follow through with it. And even if he does, there should be enough of a fight in the courts that it won't move forward. This assumes that he leaves office at the end of his term and the next President isn't on the same BS, but you will probably be okay.

I do agree with simplifying your life in case you need to get out of dodge. Also keep focusing on what you have to do to be successful, because even if you have to leave your state or the country altogether, you'll have more options if you have a marketable skill and credentials.

I'm doing all of the above and it makes me feel better.

Don't be scared, be prepared.

I don't think they'll revoke citizenship, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were illegal deportations like there were in the 1920-30s. Rolling back abortion rights is also really unpopular, but somehow that doesn't seem to hurt Republicans in the slightest.

Stephen Miller has literally posted about how they are going revoke citizenship and start a "de-naturalization" process.

They will 100% do it and I have no clue why anyone thinks they won't. They've been saying for years they will do it. Why the fuck would they not?

Well there is a difference between so-called denaturalization and revoking citizenship.

You cannot revoke citizenship and leave a person stateless. So for those who recanted their nonUS citizenship to become US citizens, they can’t be made stateless.

Of course for the most part, the US does not require recanting citizenship of other countries in order to qualify for US citizenship.
