One thinks of the good ole Soviet Union and its humane laws.
In Charlie Chaplin’s autobiography he said that he asked American officials why there was so much bureaucracy in renouncing his citizenship. He was told that they make it complicated enough so that it is not something people will do lightly, without thinking it over or if it is not their true wish. Maybe there are other reasons now.
I would love to see this enforced en masse on the first generation or two of “anchor babies”. The parents had the kids in the U.S., often going back home to raise them while collecting WIC and the un-earned income tax credit. Now that so many Mexicans are supposedly staying home or returning, tax those folks.
But I understand the Canadian-border issues, with so many Canadians having U.S. citizenship and then being told to pay U.S. taxes. This is actually causing a political issue for them, given the number of Canadians getting letters from the IRS.
What do you think the REAL ID Act is about?
All of these laws are designed to be selectively enforced.
