In a recent article published in American Political Science Review, Patti Lenard argues that democracies should not have the power to revoke citizenship because this power jeopardizes citizens’ residential security. In this article, I argue that residential security is not the best reason to reject the power to revoke citizenship. Revoking citizenship does not necessarily endanger citizens’ residential security, especially in the case of people with dual citizenship. Moreover, given that some citizens such as terrorists threaten other citizens’ residential security, the protection of residential security constitutes a legitimate reason to revoke terrorists’ citizenship. |
