Oh, Really? That other country's "laws HAVE NO EFFECT [BS] on our citizenship law"? You better think again or look again. Duel citizenship is frowned upon in this country. Here's why: before a would be naturalized person takes the oath of US citizenship, he has to renounce his former country's citizenship before he can become a United States citizen.
Please cite the relevant citizenship law that states one must renounce the citizenship of their country of origin to become a U.S. citizen.
“Oh, Really? That other country’s “laws HAVE NO EFFECT [BS] on our citizenship law”?”
It is a part of our laws and court rulings. Your birthright citizenship is UNAFFECTED by any other nation’s laws on citizenship. Dual citizeship is possible.
“Duel citizenship is frowned upon in this country.”
Oh really.

Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967)
Beys Afroyim (born Ephraim Bernstein in Poland in 1893) immigrated to the US in 1912 and became a naturalized US citizen in 1926. In 1950, Afroyim moved to Israel. He tried to renew his US passport in 1960, but the State Department refused on the grounds that he had lost his citizenship by voting in an Israeli election in 1951. Afroyim sued the State Department, and the Supreme Court ruled (5-4) that he was still a US citizen.
The basic point of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Afroyim v. Rusk was that the “citizenship clause” of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution — while originally intended mainly to guarantee citizenship to freed Negro slaves and their descendants, and subsequently interpreted in Wong Kim Ark as conferrring citizenship at birth to virtually everyone born in the US — had effectively elevated citizenship to the status of a constitutionally protected right. Hence, Congress had no right to pass a law which had the effect of depriving an American of his citizenship without his assent.
Thus, the court ruled, a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act mandating automatic loss of citizenship for voting in a foreign election was invalid. Other, similar provisions providing for loss of citizenship for serving in a foreign army, or even swearing allegiance to a foreign country, were similarly invalid unless the action was accompanied by an intent to give up US citizenship.
“Duel citizenship is frowned upon in this country”
Wrong (on spelling and meaning)! Dual citizenship is ignored in this country. At least for born citizens. It matters, of course, for the naturalization process. But that’s neither here nor there.
