What Does Doug Wilson Believe?

Politics & The State

Anyone Who Voted for Mamdani Should Lose Their Citizenship

So anybody who voted for Mamdani should lose their citizenship.

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 2026, from Canon Press, cited to the source.

If I have a right to be a citizen, then someone has an obligation to make me a citizen. Does anybody in the world have a right to come here and become a citizen? So, it, in that sense, is not a human right... But citizenship is more of a privilege dependent upon ancestry, background, how long you've been here, whether you meet the qualifications or not. And if America is a creedal nation, then you have to have creedal standards, and [another panelist: "Acknowledgement."] acknowledgement. So anybody who voted for Mamdani should lose their citizenship. [applause]
