I have no problem with Dual Citizenship. In fact both of my children were natural born Dual Citizens and there is nothing they could do to change this status until they became Adults.

What I have a problem with is when US citizens try to use citizenship with another country as an excuse to get away with breaking US laws. That’s unacceptable as US law only recognizes US citizenship for people and when they are naturalized they take an oath to renounce all allegiances to other countries.

If they don’t want to obey US laws then go to a US consulate overseas and renounce their citizenship.

Now as a practical matter (and there are many dummies in America who don’t understand this) they really can’t give up citizenship to the other countries (in the eyes of those countries) unless they go through the other countries’ process for renouncing citizenship. But that’s a matter for them to take care of with those other governments. We don’t need to have USA law enforcement agencies stationed overseas or at consulates/embassies verifying that everyone has gone through the renouncement process as that would open up a huge can of worms & liabilities that we don’t want to get involved with. If you think the “ICE Cages for Children” stories are bad just wait til you see what the ACLU would try to have the US military budget pay for (so our military can’t actually do its job) at various foreign governments’ offices in their own countries.

As far as the US government (and all government agencies and non-government entities in the USA) is concerned they should only be considered as US citizens. The people take an oath of citizenship in a federal court saying they renounce. That’s a legal proceeding with full documentation and verifications.
