There was never any chance that Monsef would be deported - nor should she be. And the revocation of citizenship for anyone else should be subject to a fair hearing.

That said, immigrants cannot be rewarded for lying or misrepresenting the facts to gain entry. It looks bad on Monsef, and the timing of the moratorium looks bad on government. 

The fix - restoring the right to a hearing - should be pretty simple; I'm assuming it can be done on a regulatory basis. In any event, there is no need for the moratorium to go beyond the end of the year. Get on with it.
