Stripping Terrorists of Their Citizenship Is a Good Thing

I don't care what an expert says:

Stripping terror suspects of citizenship does not increase national security and may even make it worse, legal experts told a conference on ending statelessness.  ...

“Stripping nationality is a completely ineffective measure – and an arbitrary measure,” said Amal de Chickera, co-founder of the Institute on Statelessness, which is hosting the conference in The Hague.


He said countries should retain responsibility for nationals accused of supporting ISIS and ensure they are prosecuted.

“Stripping nationality when people are abroad merely exports the problem to other countries,” he said, adding such measures were also likely to have a serious impact on families back home.


Why would anyone care if Jack Letts or anyone else is now someone else's problem? They didn't mind being someone else's problem when they raped and murdered people.

Why should a country absorb them back into the country where they will be a financial burden on others, a security threat and a very visible example of a country's inaction against terrorism and an inspiration to others to do the same thing.

Would this be better?

Of course, this problem can be solved if the offending parties are merely shot on sight.

Then they can be hell's problem.
