Joy Reid has cautioned President Donald Trump about the potential ramifications of denaturalizing and deporting citizens with a simple message: your policy could later be used against your family members.
While touring the ICE detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz“ in the Florida Everglades earlier this week, the president discussed the possibility of deporting citizens, telling reporters, “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.”
In a Thursday interview with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) on The Joy Reid Show, Reid countered this proposal with her own. Reid told Jayapal, “If you give the president of the United States monarchical-like powers to say, ‘I don’t like your views, I don’t like your take on issues, I don’t like that you’re too liberal, you’re not conservative enough, I’m just gonna take away your naturalized citizenship,‘ well… If we ever get a Democratic president, they could say, ‘I don’t like Melania Trump. She wasn’t born here. She was born in Slovenia. She is a naturalized citizen. She’s outta here.‘”
