1. “If after removal the plaintiff seeks to join additional defendants whose joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction, the court may deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to the State court.”

2. “[sjection 1447(e) authorizes a court to permit or prohibit joinder, and the defendant thus has an opportunity at the time joinder is considered to prevent joinder by arguing that there is no color-able claim against the party the plaintiff is seeking to join. There is no need, then, for a doctrine that ignores parties who are fraudulently joined after removal, for such parties would never be allowed to become defendants in the first place.”
