Back when I lived for a while in Oklahoma, a phrase I heard often, and surprisingly so, was “yeah. But you’re not from here.”

I was involved in the community. I fought for teacher rights, union rights, minority rights, student rights, and GLBT rights. I was on the executive board of my Union and the boards of a few community organizations, and was even a member of the local GLBT band that was part of the bigger band that performed for Bill Clinton’s second inauguration. But, if I made a suggestion for a strategy that might make meeting a committee’s goal possible, I was, again, often told that my suggestion was all well and good, but I was not from Oklahoma.

I got used to it, and wondered how long it took to be considered being there.

It’s like on Cape Cod. No matter how long you live on the Cape, if you were not born East of the canal, you will always be a “wash ashore”.

Although I read the Oklahoma newspaper every day, the one that claimed to be the state’s newspaper and was voted the most conservative newspaper in the country by the Columbia School of journalism, I rarely read the obituaries.

One of the times I did so when I was bored, I came upon a picture of a very southern looking woman, rather dour expression with a huge bouffant hair-do, with the obituary saying that this woman who had died at 93 had recently arrived to the state. However, a few lines down it noted that she had come to the state with her parents at the age of six months just days before statehood. She was older than the state, but apparently, not having arrived at any of the land runs, she was simply just not from there.

So, my situation was not as bad as I might have thought.

I mention this because the latest move by Trump when it comes to immigrants, no matter how long they have been here, is to examine any, even those who are applying to become, or have become naturalized citizens, to see if at any time before attaining citizenship, regardless whether they followed the law in the process, they had been part of any government program that extended any form of federal assistance.

This would actually include any of their children who might have a disability benefiting from a program for children with disabilities, or if they had purchased certain forms of Obamacare, which they had to by law.

A person who immigrates legally could be denied citizenship or a green card if that person or any member of that person’s household used programs such as the Affordable Care Act, children’s health insurance (CHIP), or supplemental nutrition assistance (SNAP). By law, not signing up for ACA and being without healthcare would have resulted in a penalty.

This is a Catch-22.

You have to sign up for ACA, but now that you have, you’ve got to go.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the government agency that oversees immigration applications, has created a new office to look for people who may have cheated to obtain their citizenship and then strip them of it.

Although USCIS has taken up such cases before, this will be the first large-scale coordinated effort to de-naturalize, and, where possible, bring criminal fraud charges.

When the sphincter of Oddi is closed, bile flows to the gallbladder where it is stored pfizer viagra sales until needed, like a warehouse. De-naturalization is a rare occurrence, since a person lives in this country for a number of years and has passed the hurdles of obtaining entry, legal permanent residency, and, finally, citizenship. Naturalization makes an immigrant equal to natural-born citizen.

It has never been so broadly applied as now, since “cheating” is an extremely open term.

Previously, when such an action was taken, it involved suspected war criminals, such as former Nazis, who lied on their documentation, not some parent with a kid with a disability.

More than twenty million people could be de-naturalized since the Trump administration keeps claiming that immigrants are criminals, rapists, not your best people, and animals. That makes them all suspect.

Although U.S.C.I.S. says it will only pursue people who deliberately lied on their citizenship applications, not those who made innocent mistakes, the latter category is a little fuzzy and open to interpretation.

There was a time in recent history when immigration law banned “aliens afflicted with sexual deviation.” This meant GLBT people would be denied entry even if they were fleeing one of those “foreign ideologies” Trump said he would protect them from. Choosing to have remained in the closet when coming to this country is understandable when attitudes historically in this country kept a segment of its own native born citizens in the closet, considering them citizens “afflicted with sexual deviation.”

Although being Gay here is not illegal now, in seventy other countries same-sex sexual activity is still illegal.

Question 26 on the Green card application asks, “Have you ever committed a crime of any kind (even if you were not arrested, cited, charged with, or tried for that crime)?”

Does this apply to United States laws or to those of the country from which a person is coming even if those laws might be considered extreme or bizarre in this country, like its being illegal for women in certain countries to drive a car and the applicant did get behind the wheel once for the experience?

Would anyone realistically admit to having committed a crime if they had not been arrested, cited, or charged?

To respond, someone has to be their own judge and jury since what is in the parenthesis is in the question.

In the past, cases were investigated when something triggered the need to do so, but this latest move is a fishing expedition and has as its only purpose to cause fear in a community that this administration has a pathological hatred toward and people Trump has called rapists, murders, animals, and not the best people.

And who will be investigated first?

People like Melania’s parents whose obtaining a Green Card shows signs of having been somewhat questionable, or some poor schmuck who followed the rules, became a contributing citizen, but came from a “shithole” country?
