If you are a naturalized citizen, you can not be deported unless there is proof that you lied on your application for citizenship. For example, if you were a mass murderer in Croatia, and when you applied for citizenship here you used the identity of one of your victims, your citizenship could be revoked.
What you have seen are either people here illegally, or folks who are here legally, but are not citizens, who have violated the laws here and have forfeited their privilege of being here!
You are a citizen, and have the same rights as someone who was born here. You are also subject to the same laws, and punishments, so try to follow the law!!!

If you are actually a US citizen you are a citizen .Period.
The people you see on TV are criminal illegal aliens, who, unlike you, snuck in and broke the law.
People who are also non-citizens will get deported if they commit a felony. You are a citizen and have the same rights as any citizen, same as if you where born here. You can break all the laws you want and you aren't going anywhere, except jail. About the only thing you can't do, is be President. Then again, who'd want that job these days...?

If you are a legal citizen (not just a resident) there is no way they can kick you out ... however, you can certainly be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

You are a US citizen, legally. I would think you would have to do something horrendous for the US to take your citizenship away. Murder, terrorist, something like that. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about.

chances are, since you aren't Hispanic (hispanics seem to be automatically thought of as dirty illegals now a days) you might not get deported, the best thing to do, is NOT get in trouble with the law. But then again there are the idiots who say you would be an Evil Hardened criminal just for being in this country illegally ....
im sorry, i didn't read the part where you said you were a citizen, i scanned through it quickly, my bad

If you are a US citizen there is no way America will be able to kick you out
Lucky you!!!
