Case by case, you definitely should not be in government with dual citizenship.
Someone very close to me who is a naturalized citizen just regained citizenship from their home country, simply because they cannot own property there without it. They have a vacation home and family farm property there they would either inherit or lose soon without citizenship.
What say you?
I totally agree! This needs evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
I have 2 children that have dual, US and Philippine
Citizenship.
Tha US and PH have always had strong ties since we liberated them from Japanese occupation.
Why should my children be punished?
Personally I am full blown, born in the US, citizen and patriot. I was so seriously concerned that the deep state players would cheat again, that I flew home just to cast my ballot in person.
When you have dual citizenship you cannot have loyalty by definition. Loyalty (a strong feeling of support or allegiance) cannot be devided between 2 entities. And when that happens you have no loyalty at all
Not sure I agree with this notion. Problem with this logic is that most countries won't disclose if you are their citizen.
Take Israel for example: the only reason we even know that we have people in positions of power who have Israeli citizenship is because they disclosed it themselves. I'm pretty sure there is a good chunk of congressmen who are Israeli citizens, but we simply don't know.
And as A FYI: if you are a dual citizen(fro example: Mexico and Israel), when you become a US citizen you have to pick one that you have to surrender.
If you want a better policy, simply make the PACs and lobbying illegal, only individual contributions to political campaigns, make it so that NGOs and corporations can't donate to political campaigns or charities for any reason. Also make sure that 1st and 2nd generation immigrants can't hold any form of office.
I agree completely. Common sense says you can't be loyal to two different countries. Most of our congress have dual citizenship with Israel, which I believe doesn't extradite, which tells me a whole lot.
If a US citizen with dual citizenship to a country like Israel commits treason, which so many have, and they run to Israel, we would not be able to bring them back to the US to stand trial.
But keep in mind many countries do not allow you to surrender your citizenship at all. It doesn't mean you can't love America or adopt American values.
My husband is from Canada but is an American citizen and has been for many years. However, he has dual citizenship because he doesn't lose his Canadian rights by being a US citizen. In fact, my children automatically have dual citizenship because their dad is from Canada. So while I get your point this does not work across the board
Half of congress - gone! I like it!

Common sense isn't common these dsys.

Your second comment is non-sequitur.
I guess we just need to stop this conversation as you are clearly not understanding what is happening. I'm out.
Would have the same effect as winning the Brunson Brother's case at Supreme Court! Same people.
I can live with that.
Not necessarily.
In positions of power, yes.
But keep in mind many countries do not allow you to surrender your citizenship at all. It doesn't mean you can't love America or adopt American values.
When it comes down to it, all will need to choose one and only one, this is part of our growing.
Calirado governor from California is a dual citizen with…guess…
I disagree. They should not hold office or be in the government but having dual citizenship is fine with me.

You can't really give up your citizenship for a lot of countries. My mother is American and swedish,she just didn't request her Swedish passport.
She used to have a green card number that was low 5 digits. The border patrol guys couldn't belive it.....
