The drone killing of Al-Awlaki marked in the most violent way possible the limits of US Citizenship. It ignited a debate about what citizenship is, and whether the killing of Al-Awlaki had somehow lessened the rights of Americans to not be killed by their own government. Eric Snowden recently announced he was becoming a U.S. Citizen. Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, tried to delay his deportation from South Africa by using a “World Passport”. These cases beg the question of where the limits of citizenship, which are in essence the rights that attach to a person because they are a part of a certain recognized country, begin and end. They often end, we discuss, where they meet the outer limits of the law, I.e. where questions that law has not yet considered start and only raw power rules.
We also cover: nigerian migrants riding on the propeller of a ship all the way to Europe; a large ICE data leak; Qatari migrants in the world cup audience; the World Passport and the World Citizen Government; the idiocy of the position that all borders should be open/borders shouldn't exist
