Subject: [Goanet] Stop Dual Citizenship
The Trump Administration in the mess they are making, will
unintentionally create beautiful things.
The whole concept of dual citizenship has become utterly ridiculous
and confusing on many levels and throws out-of-whack the loyalty and
fidelity one should show to one's country.
Take for example the case of an Iranian woman (with an Iranian
passport) who has Canadian citizenship and lives as a permanent
resident in the US with her family. She says she is now afraid to go
to Canada for fear she may not be admitted back to the US on account
of Trump's recent executive directives.
I can see this woman paying taxes nowhere and getting benefits from
all three. I can see the immigration authorities of three countries
scratching their heads to see how they can extradite her if she
commits a crime in one of the three countries and resides in one of
the other two.
I can now see the farsightedness of Indian authorities consistently
refusing to allow dual citizenship under pressure from many sides.
It's a clear cut road. One country, one flag, one loyalty. You can
change that for whatever reason, but like a non-bigamous marriage, it
remains a union with always one spouse.
