> Naturalized citizens cannot be deported unless the government first proves in an Article III Federal Court that they obtained citizenship fraudulently and the court revokes their citizenship. So naturalized citizens can be deported whereas a natural born american citizen cannot. > Should legal immigrants, especially naturalized American citizens, be harassed by the government? Don't remember saying they should. |

That's misleading.
A "naturalized citizen" who is proven to have fraudulently obtained citizenship, and therefore deportable, is considered to never have legally become a citizen in the first place. So this person would only have been a pretend "naturalized citizen" on the surface, and by the time they are deported they are not considered to be a naturalized citizen.
A real naturalized citizen, who legitimately obtained citizenship, cannot be deported against their will, no matter what they do after becoming a citizen.
So a naturalized citizen cannot be deported. A person who pretends to be a legally naturalized citizen but really isn't, can.
This is all in contrast to non-citizen immigrants, such as green card holding permanent residents, who can be deported for "aggravated felonies" as well as other specified reasons.
> "Don't remember saying they should."
I read it that way, but if that was not your intent then OK.
