In 1982, my wife had to "renounce" the Moroccan government in order to become a US citizen. She was asked, "did that make you sad?" She said "No, I did it with great pleasure."

My daughter was born in Germany while I was stationed at Ramstien. We were told when she was 18 she had to declare her citizenship since she held dual citizenship.

1. When the mouse fires twice for one click it is worn out and needs replacement.
2. If the state department ever finds out about your friend his/her U.S. citizenship will be revoked.

The purpose of U.S. policy to allow dual citizenship is to make it hard for a person to renounce U.S. citizenship. The United States is the only nation, other the Eritria (who got the idea from the U.S.) that claims to be able to tax a citizen no matter where their income is earned. A U.S. passport is the most expensive one in the world. The U.S. government wanted to make sure that they could tax people anywhere in the world. If people could simply claim they were not U.S. citizens by having citizenship in another country, the U.S. government would not have as much control as they desired. This confiscatory tax policy of the U.S. is driving a good deal of capital out of the country.

"No man can serve two masters..." We don't serve our government in America, it serves us.
Er, uh . . . that's how it's supposed to work, anyhow.

I was on a tour bus in San Francisco recently and the driver was Irish. He said that you could get an Irish passport if you could show that you have an Irish ancestor. He said it was sometimes easier traveling on an Irish passport. I don't know the validity of this.

2 Not according to the other posts and links on this site. The State Department couldn't care less.

"Anybody Born in the USA is an American Citizen." From the 14th Amendment:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
Looks like there is already a dual citizenship issue right here in the good ole US of A.

In my wife's situation, the Thai government does not allow foreigners to own real property (land). Until a couple of years back, a Thai woman married to a foreigner could not own land either. Since the change in the Thai law, my wife has re-registered for the Thai census. You do do nothing but show your birth certificate and last residence and current residence when in Thailand. Thus, she is able to own the land on which her house is built. There was no question of renouncing her American citizenship -- which she would never have done.

That is the way it was when I was stationed in Rome. You had dual citizenship till you were 18, then you had to choose.
