Donald Trump continued on Tuesday to float his idea, which some legal experts say is unconstitutional, to deport U.S. citizens who commit crimes.

Speaking to the press during a tour of a migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, the president repeated claims that there are many immigrants who are now citizens and have been committing serious crimes.

“They’re not new to our country. They’re old to our country. Many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here, too, if you want to know the truth,” he said. “So maybe that will be the next job.”

    Or they come from countries which don’t recognize dual citizenship, so if they have US citizenship, they no longer have it in their original country.

    Making somebody stateless is a crime by UN law.

      Yep. I was born in PRC. When I became a US citizenship, I automatically lost PRC Citizenship. Not that I would enjoy living there in any case, don’t know much Mandarin, and hate the CCP. The internet there will suck. I’m gonna stuggle trying to bypass the firewalls to get western media that I’m so acustomed to. Hukous System is gonna be ass, since I have a Rural Hukou.

      But that doesn’t matter. Probably ending up in cecot anyways.
