Not 100% sure of this, but I think a person in a country not his own whose passport expires becomes a state-less person.

This entitles that person to refugee status at any UN facility. I do not think a state-less person can be deported anywhere.

Sorry, that is total bullshiite.
Getting to America and your passport expires means you’re an illegal alien with no rights here who can and should be deported to wherever you came from.
Anything else is pure asinine leftist idiocy.

No. Citizenship is not terminated by letting your passport expire, of by having your passport canceled. One continues as a citizen of the country that issued the passport but cannot engage in international travel outside one's home country. Edward Snowden had his United States passport canceled while in transit to South America. He was in the airport in Russia, in no man's land, and his only options were to gain admittance to Russia or return to America. The Russians eventually permitted his entry.

The U.S. State Department definition is, "A stateless person is someone who, under national laws, does not enjoy citizenship – the legal bond between a government and an individual – in any country."
