If You Are a Naturalized American Citizen, Read This:

http://immigration.findlaw.com/citizenship/can-your-u-s-citizenship-be-revoked-.html

You can be stripped of your US citizenship under a number of circumstances, some of them technical enough to apply to more people than you might think. If you are denaturalized, you can be deported, as well.

Read the article at the link above and check carefully to see if any of the items apply. Something as simple as changing the spelling of your name in naturalization papers could lead to this, if the rules are applied super-strictly.

Check and make sure you're safe from this, because there's a fair chance that the Trump administration will try to apply this process to many naturalized citizens of whom they don't approve.

I'm a naturalized citizen (from Canada). It appears I'm safe, unless the repugs classify DU as a subversive group

It has been changed many times. It can be changed again, by an act of Congress.

Heaven knows, I've read a post or two on DU that could certainly be considered "subversive"; heck, I might have even written them
