Should immigrants be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?

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, but only if the secondary citizenship is not for a country with an adversarial relationship to the US (I.E.China, Russia, Iran, etc.)

 @8V5MWGYDemocrat from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but they should renounce old citizenships- ie if they want a dual citizenship in their home country, they should have to re-apply for a citizenship there after renouncing the original one in the US

 @8Z5XZXK from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Don’t really care

 @8VFPHLVLibertarian from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but without the right to vote unless they have also performed military service.

 @8TZ2DQR from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if the home country is a US ally

 @8Q7TRLM from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Citizenship is global. We are all citizens of Earth.

 @8J39H3L from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes but only allowed to vote in their home country.

 @8HPXQZYLibertarian from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, all humans are citizens of Earth, changing your home nation is just changing the giant rock you live on.

 @8H52JGZ from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but only from countries "friendly" to the U.S. (i.e. Canada, Australia, UK, etc)

 @8CSS5MQ from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes and can’t hold an elected office if holding dual citizenship

 @9B6B3KW from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, it doesn't quite matter all that much unless they have committed extreme crimes or stuff

 @8G5RWVG from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but the laws of the citizenship should only apply depending what country they are in.

Holy Intervention: Iran Urges Pope Francis to Stop War in Middle East

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Pope Francis to use his influence with Christian governments to stop war in the Middle East, semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday."Encourage world leaders, especially Christian governments, to prevent the continuation of aggressions made by the criminal Israeli regime," Pezeshkian said, in what Fars described as a message to the Pope.The message was delivered by an Iranian delegation participating in a religious dialogue event held in the Vatican, Iran's government website said.Tehran and the Holy See have enjoyed formal diplomatic relations since 1954, and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2022 shared a message to Pope Francis lauding his "stances on consolidating relations between Islam and Christianity".Last week, Pope Francis suggested the global community should study whether Israel's military campaign in Gaza constituted a genocide of the Palestinian people, in some of his most explicit criticism yet of Israel's conduct in its year-long war.Israel says accusations of genocide in its Gaza campaign are baseless and that it is solely hunting down Iranian-backed Hamas and other armed groups.Pezeshkian added that Tehran was ready to engage constructively with the Vatican to promote peace and justice in the world.Francis, leader of the 1.4 billion-member Catholic Church, is usually careful not to take sides in international conflicts, and to stress de-escalation. But he has stepped up his criticism of Israel's conduct in its war against Hamas recently.

Biden's Trash Talk: President Calls Trump Supporters "Garbage" Over Racial Jokes

President Biden sparked backlash on Tuesday when he appeared to compare supporters of former President Trump to garbage after commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an “island of garbage.”The White House in a statement argued that the president was referring to the rhetoric at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday as “garbage.”“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.It also provided a fuller transcript of the comment, which included an apostrophe with “supporter’s,” to indicate Biden was referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “demonization of Latinos” as “garbage.”Hinchcliffe delivered a comedic set at a Madison Square Garden rally for Trump on Sunday in New York City that mocked Latinos, Jews and Black men and included a joke comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something. I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m from, in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been,” Biden said, according to the transcript provided by the White House.In a post on X, Biden himself asserted he was referring to the rhetoric from Hinchcliffe.
