I'm sure Patty Murray, and Maria Cantwel would love to hear (and ignore) your opinions.

Shibly [her lawyer] said Muthana has realized she made a mistake in moving to Syria and wants to return to the USA to face justice and "pay any debts she has to society." He said she wants to speak out against the Islamic State and help de-radicalize other Americans. ... Seeing how different a society could be compared to the beloved America I was born and raised into changed me.
So is there no room for growth and maturation? She was foolish, no doubt... So many of us are foolish in our own way, some of us "grow up" and some do not.
On the other hand:
Quote:
Muthana, who was raised in Alabama, left the United States to join ISIS four years ago at age 19. In Syria, she called for Americans to be attacked, and she spread the group's propaganda online.
The "age 19" part makes me wonder, but the rest is classic renouncing of one's citizenship.
The other part about her being born on US soil of a foreign diplomat? Very interesting here:
Quote:
I gather that the government's argument is that she was born to a diplomat who was in the United States on official business, and so was not entitled to birthright citizenship. That's correct as a matter of law if it's true, but it's not true just because the government says so
There seems to be an awful lot of "while true, we need to let them in the USA to make sure" going on around the country.
Quote:
As for Muthana, "whether it's a few years in jail, 20 years in jail or no jail, she's open to the legal process, and she's not asking for a free pass, just due process," Shibly said.
Honestly, it -sounds- like she very much regrets her decision, and is genuinely willing to serve 20 years in prison if that is what it takes.
There seems to be some ambiguity as to her legal status. Let the US .Gov produce the paperwork that proves that she is not a US citizen and be done with it. If she is not a US citizen, then she can apply to immigrate like anyone else, and I expect that that would be difficult enough for her to keep her out after her support of ISIS.
