Should immigrants to the United States be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc.

Yes
@9HRBM76 4mos4MO
Swearing an allegiance to more than one nation is impossible, as each nation has differing and often stances and positions.
@9HP9K755mos5MO
If you chose to be a citizen of the United States (or any other country), you need to be fully committed to that single nation.
@9G4VYH27mos7MO
the potential for double taxation, the long and expensive process for obtaining dual citizenship, and the fact that you become bound by the laws of two nations.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
No
@9FLB4D48mos8MO
The reality is that the vast majority of dual citizenship holders are law abiding citizens that should be given the freedom to hold dual citizenship. If we force a person to relenquish their original citizenship all this will accomplish is creating blockades for that person who may want to travel back to their birth country and visit family.
Having the ability to benefit from two countries systems and bleed them is unfair. One must declare residency and live within rules of that country.
@9G4VYH27mos7MO
Dual citizenship can create complex legal and tax issues. For example, individuals may be subject to different tax laws and regulations in each country
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
No, and we should not allow any new immigrants into the country at this time
@9FFDM3F8mos8MO
People need to come here and we need them to help us. They should be citizens of both places because they where born in the place they came from and live with us.
@988NV6X1yr1Y
America is a country of immigrants. We are lucky to be here. Why should we deny others the right to live in this amazing place?
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
Yes, unless they have committed an act of terrorism
@9FLB4D48mos8MO
Terrorists are a blight on the majority of law abiding citizens most if not all are too radical to be reasoned with and thus should no right to hold dual citizenship.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
Yes, unless they have committed a crime
@9FXDQ9Y8mos8MO
A person can not be expected to hold equal allegiance to separate and potentially competing interests.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y

@9M6C3LY2wks2W
The presence of 20 African children and 2 Americans, and funding flooding outside of the country is concerning.
@Freedom762wks2W
What does that have to do with dual citizenship?
@8ZRXP9C2yrs2Y
Yes, unless they have committed a violent or serious crime.
Yes many care deeply for there heritage and we have no right to take that away from them if they want to keep both citizenships they should allowed to keep it
@8JY9S344yrs4Y
Not well informed on the topic
@8L46CQM4yrs4Y
Yes, holding dual citizenship status allows immigrants to preserve their cultural heritage
@97VRQ322yrs2Y
@9MFBRSL6 days6D
Yes, but only if they haven’t committed a crime and not if the other nation is considered an adversary
@9M5P9R62wks2W
Yes, but they must revoke any and all citizenship statuses outside of the United States if they complete the naturalization process to become a citizen of the United States of America.
@9LZ2GPK3wks3W
We need to become the great melting pot again instead of celebrating diversity to the point of not having a unifying value based meritocracy as an identity.
@9LWPBBGProgressive3wks3W
Once someone is legally a citizen we should only take that away if they acquired citizenship for the purpose of causing harm, otherwise let them have any other citizenship they want
@9LJY92KLibertarian1mo1MO
Yes, but they should have no criminal record, and they should not be able to vote in federal elections, enlist in the military, take any oath of public office, hold any government clearances, or receive any government aid.
@9LDV8ZM1mo1MO
Yes, as long as they pay taxes and are not using citizenship to avoid facing a serious criminal charge in one of the countries.
@9LBY4CS1mo1MO
Yes, but they shouldn't be able to become a citizen if they have committed a crime, act of terrorism or snuck through the border
@9L7N2XG2mos2MO
Yes it is a fifth amendment right by the concept of the right to life, liberty, and property without due process.
@9L68DFPConstitution2mos2MO
Yes, unless they 1) run/hold any kind of political office or government position be it local, state, or federal, 2) donate to any political or government persons, groups, or entities, and/or 3) receive any kind of local, state, or federal benefits/aid/assistance/etc.
@9L3F6QGRepublican2mos2MO
we have so many immigrants already we don't need more in the United States we need to send them back and beef up our border. this is why you vote for Trump He could save America form the immigrants we have a lot of problems already Biden needs to be in prison.
@9L3F6QGRepublican2mos2MO
if they are an immigrant why should they get a citizenship this is bull **** you guys need help if you think this is okay.TRUMP 2024
@9L2XD8K2mos2MO
On the one condition that another citizenship is from a country that respect democracy and humen rights
@9KZP7HF2mos2MO
I believe that they should be able to get one if they have not committed any crime, offense, or act of terrorism and are patriotic to this country.
@9KYP59V2mos2MO
They should be able to stay here and have dual citizenship status. HOWEVER They should only be able to have citizenship in 2 places at once, and if they have committed a serious crime, like murder, or Terrorism have their citizenship status revoked, and sent back to their other location of status regardless of the living conditions.
@9KLKZTF2mos2MO
Yes the should be allowed to hold dual citizenship status unless their coming into the country illegally.
@9KJPRWH3mos3MO
No, disallowing dual citizenship will discourage immigration. Immigration policy should be as friendly as possibly sound to combat low fertility rate.
@9JZR5D4Republican3mos3MO
Yes, so long as the obligations of the two or more citizenships do not conflict with the obligations of US citizenship.
