Hirsi Ali was "booted" because she lied in order to get refugee status. She was born in Somalia but had lived in Kenia, a stable country back then, before coming to Europe. Since too many years had passed since she was acknowledged as a refugee, the status couldn't be revoked. That wasn't true for her citizenship because her naturalization was several years later. Since she didn't lose her original refugee status, the only consequense was that she couldn't retain her seat in parliament. She left for America on her own accord to get a job at the American Enterprise Institute.
Anyway, how come the French taxpayers aren't paying for her bodyguards she wants in America? I recall that some French minister promised as much, wich is more than the Dutch government ever did.
EDIT: dang, only just noticed Adrian's post
