I’ve been told continuously that we can’t actually do mass deportations (much less mass denaturalizations) because it’s impractical, expensive, politically unpopular, and risky. Maybe it is all of those things. But this operation in Iran is also all of those things. If we are going to do something explosive and drastic with potential major political fallout, why aren’t we doing it here? Why aren’t we doing it in our homeland for our own people? You might say that we can do both. Can we? Will we? A lot of conservatives are asking this question. Maybe not on this site right now. But they’re asking it. And rightly so.
