Say how much you like the Patriot Act again when Bush declares pornographers terrorists and holds them without trial or counsel and then deports them (when they're CITIZENS!) - without trial or appeal. What part of that sounds right to you?
If it were all about killing/catching/punishing the bad guys it's fine. But when you give a government powers, it will ALWAYS abuse them. End of story. That's why there are checks and balances in the system to prevent that.

There will not be any natural citizens deported. As for those that are not natural citizens, I see nothing wrong with revoking their citizenship. The government granted it, so why should the government not have the right to revoke it. The checks and balances are still in place. The Congress can, and has, reversed legislation. The Courts still rule over abuse of any laws passed by Congress or Presidential Excutive Orders. The sky is not falling.
