re: Its time, end dual citizenship.

I said that to you because I don't need to answer to you in any way, shape, or fashion. You seem to have an issue with it, the United States Navy didn't.

Dude you are being inconsistent, that's what you are getting called out on.

You told the navy something totally different than you are saying here.

You also were fine with people who arent you getting their citizenship limited to one, but not you.

Dual Nationality

Section 101(a)(22) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) states that “the term ‘national of the United States’ means (A) a citizen of the United States, or (B) a person who, though not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States.” Therefore, U.S. citizens are also U.S. nationals. Non-citizen nationality status refers only individuals who were born either in American Samoa or on Swains Island to parents who are not citizens of the United States. The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a national of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own nationality laws based on its own policy. Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. national parents may be both a U.S. national and a national of the country of birth. Or, an individual having one nationality at birth may naturalize at a later date in another country and become a dual national.

U.S. law does not impede its citizens' acquisition of foreign citizenship whether by birth, descent, naturalization or other form of acquisition, by imposing requirements of permission from U.S. courts or any governmental agency. If a foreign country's law permits parents to apply for citizenship on behalf of minor children, nothing in U.S. law impedes U.S. citizen parents from doing so.

U.S. law does not require a U.S. citizen to choose between U.S. citizenship and another (foreign) nationality (or nationalities). A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to their U.S. citizenship.

U.S. dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country (or countries, if they are nationals of more than one). They are required to obey the laws of both countries, and either country has the right to enforce its laws. Claims of other countries upon U.S. dual-nationals may result in conflicting obligations under the laws of each country. U.S. dual nationals may also face restrictions in the U.S. consular protections available to U.S. nationals abroad, particularly in the country of their other nationality.

U.S. nationals, including U.S. dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. U.S. dual nationals may also be required by the country of their foreign nationality to use that country’s passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport to travel to or from a country other than the United States is not inconsistent with U.S. law.

Why do you feel the need to take it?

---

Because you're either American or not. At the age of 21 either choose or have it chosen for you.

Your feelings are irrelevant. The laws of this country allow dual citizenship and do not require you to renounce citizenship of another country, nor can renunciation be chosen for you.

I don't give a frick what you think of any of it. You and your opinion are completely irrelevant. You've been treating this as some sort of loyalty test to America. It's not your place to do that, and you can frick off.

---

It's a free country and your opinion doesnt matter any more than mine does.

And yes, we have tens of millions here who have or qualify for dual citizenship.

We have people waving Mexican flags at US police.

We have congress people with citizenship of Somolia saying they are representing Somalia.

Its a problem of loyalty.

While I dont really think Canada is a problem, no law could survive a legal challenge if it only excluded some citizenships.

You seem like a massive pansy which makes sense given the Canada thing

If you don't want to be an American go to Canada with your limp-wristed cousins.

Then be an American and give up the other citizenship.

I’ve posted info from the State Department that describes dual nationality laws. I’ve also listed two Supreme Court cases that set lawful precedent for dual citizenship and renunciation of it. You’re more than welcome to educate yourself. Giving up my Canadian citizenship is not something I need to do, nor am I inclined to do. Y’all can bitch about it all you want, it has no bearing on me whatsoever.
