#2 We are having some issues with dual citizenship here in Australia. People are calling for the Australians to be evacuated first, while those Lebanese-Australians who hold dual-citizenship passports and who have been living in Lebanon, should be second on the list.

But first we need to find some form of transport where we can get the Aussies on and out of that shit hole known as Lebanon. The Govt. has tried, is trying and will continue to try to evacuate citizens, but nothing is going right for the stranded Aussies at the moment.

#3 I'm about ready to kick the shit out of any more whining Americans (especially dual citizenship) who act like we owe them evacuation RIGHT NOW when they visited the freaking war zone and the country that's belligerent (in the south for sure) against a US ally. If I hear another "the water's cold and my pillow's hard, and the cruise ship was late" I'm gonna beat somebody with a cluebat

#4 We don't recognize dual citizenship.

When you become a citizen of the United States one of the requisites is that you give up all allegience to any other country.

However, and here's the sweet part, other countries do recognize dual citizenship. It would cost me $75,000.00 to become a foreign national. I don't have to renounce my US citizenship. And yet I can become a citizen of another country. That allows me to take funds earned as a citizen of that country and pay the going tax rate of that country for funds received as a citizen of that country.

And if you look at the tax code, there are exceptions for earnings overseas.

Sweet.

But back to the point. Since, as a condition of US citizenship, you must renounce your citizenship of another country, ipso facto, you're not a dual national.

Get it? I do believe that carrying a passport as a national of another nation is due cause for revocation of your US citizenship. But what bureacracy is enforcing this distinction? Can you guess?

It's State. And they don't have the funding to deal with it.(And have you asked the reasonable question yet:"Are Mexicans granted US citizenship allowed dual status by the Mexican government?"

Sheesh. The stuff your guvernment don't tell ya.
