Citizenship is treasured when one's rights can be assumed-but worthless when one cannot leave a country or reenter it, when a government doesn't protect property or individuals, or when one must take desperate measures to escape.
Just as government policies can undermine currencies too, can they degrade citizenship.
The Democratic presidential hopefuls seem set on similar policies for American citizenship.
With these measures in place, what would remain of American citizenship?
They are a denial of the protections of American citizenship.
Will American citizenship still mean something in the future? If Americans can be expelled from their own country, no.
If we effectively extend the rights of citizenship to everyone in the world, how can we still be a country? The question of citizenship could become the most pressing political question of the twenty-first century.
