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 3mos3MO
Swearing an allegiance to more than one nation is impossible, as each nation has differing and often stances and positions.
@9HP9K754mos4MO
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.
@9G4VYH26mos6MO
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
@9FLB4D47mos7MO
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.
@9G4VYH26mos6MO
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
@9FFDM3F7mos7MO
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
@9FLB4D47mos7MO
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
@9FXDQ9Y6mos6MO
A person can not be expected to hold equal allegiance to separate and potentially competing interests.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y

@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
@8JY9S343yrs3Y
Not well informed on the topic
@8L46CQM3yrs3Y
Yes, holding dual citizenship status allows immigrants to preserve their cultural heritage
@97VRQ321yr1Y
@9LJY92KLibertarian2 days2D
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.
@9LDV8ZM1wk1W
Yes, as long as they pay taxes and are not using citizenship to avoid facing a serious criminal charge in one of the countries.
@9LBY4CS2wks2W
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
@9L7N2XG2wks2W
Yes it is a fifth amendment right by the concept of the right to life, liberty, and property without due process.
@9L68DFPConstitution3wks3W
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.
@9L3F6QGRepublican4wks4W
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.
@9L3F6QGRepublican4wks4W
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
@9L2XD8K4wks4W
On the one condition that another citizenship is from a country that respect democracy and humen rights
@9KZP7HF4wks4W
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.
@9KYP59V4wks4W
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.
@9KLKZTF1mo1MO
Yes the should be allowed to hold dual citizenship status unless their coming into the country illegally.
@9KJPRWH1mo1MO
No, disallowing dual citizenship will discourage immigration. Immigration policy should be as friendly as possibly sound to combat low fertility rate.
@9JZR5D4Republican2mos2MO
Yes, so long as the obligations of the two or more citizenships do not conflict with the obligations of US citizenship.
@9JW87V62mos2MO
Yes, unless they’ve committed a crime. Dual citizenship should also be reserved for allied nations without a history of terrorism or human rights abuses
@9JVFPFG2mos2MO
Yes, but only if they do not hold a security clearance and their U.S. Citizenship can be revoke if they commit a felony.
@9JFZZVT3mos3MO
Perhaps be able to transfer from one to another with due diligence but struggling to think of why dual is fair. Open to learning.
@9JFLKGCPeace and Freedom3mos3MO
Yes, unless they are citizens of a hostile foreign nation - in which case they must renounce and become only a U.S. citizen.
@9J94H6T3mos3MO
Yes, but it should more be a process where someone is switching over from country to country. After a certain time, one must be terminated.
@9HJXJ9L4mos4MO
Yes, but not for anyone who needs to acquire a security clearance, and no criminal history for applicants for us citizenship.
