On the Real-Life Story of Deep-Cover Russian Spies Living As American Families. “People who crave external validation would never make the cut as illegals, she said. ‘A spy is an actor, but an actor that doesn’t need a public or a stage.’” Fascinating!

Fascinating !
Why would Canada strip the kids of their citizenship, that seems very violent ?
Also, it's weir that the article makes no mention of the TV show "The Americans".
I came here to say the same thing. The Americans was enormously popular and based loosely on the illegals program. Odd not to at least mention it in passing.
It's an excerpt from a book; I'm sure it's mentioned elsewhere in the text.
