can a U.S. citizen be deported?

Thousands of Americans a year are deported from various European countries for overstaying their visa, working illegally or being charged with a crime

Anybody can be deported from any country other than his or her country of citizenship. Such a person will always be deported to his or her country of citizenship.

More to the point: an American can be deported from any country but the United States of America. He will always be deported to the United States of America.

An immigrant is a person who with the permission of the government moved (immigrated) to that country. He can live there as a permanent resident or have become a citizen of that country. I'm an immigrant to the United States. I'm also a US citizen. But I will always be an immigrant here as long as I live because I wasn't born as an American.

yes

Ok more specifically, you HEAR about immigrants in America BEING deported. CAN an American citizen living in another country be deported from that country? Are they considered immigrants in that country?-----------------------------

Yes. When you are in another country, you have immigrated from your country into that country, making you an immigrant. Immigrant - n, a person who migrates to another country, usually for permananent residence (as opposed to a "visitor").

If you violate that country's laws, then you may be deported. Immigrants can be deported from the U.S. for breaking laws, or for being illegal (entering the U.S. illegally, therefor, breaking the law).

Absolutely, Mexico deports quite a few back to the United States.

Yes you can, and technically if you're living there long-term you would be an immigrant. I live in Canada and my family knows a British family very well that move here years ago, and they are considered immigrants. If they caused trouble here, they could be deported, just like anyone else from another country.

Absolutely. Canada deports hundreds of American citizens a year.

not deported from THE US ..but they could be deported to the US
