Let’s Talk about Dual Allegiance and who is fooling whom.

There is no such thing as Dual Allegiance. It is a continuing myth most perpetrated by the non-asimilating Mexicans and Latin Americans who come here to escape the poor culture, crime and socialist style economies, then transplant it all here to the detriment of us all.
To see how well it works, tell your spouse or love partner that you are bringing in a new partner to share your love.  m/r

Let’s Talk about Dual Allegiance | National Review Online

Dual Allegiance
Any comprehensive immigration bill should ensure that new citizens have to abjure their other loyalties.
By  John Fonte                          


This week, Senator Ted Cruz announced that he would be renouncing his Canadian citizenship, which he gained by dint of being born in Calgary. He did the right thing, but the entire issue of dual allegiance has yet to be seriously addressed during the debate over comprehensive immigration reform. So let us be comprehensive, if you will.
The Schumer-Rubio Senate bill, by making millions more immigrants eligible for citizenship in the coming years, will provide for a vast expansion of people eligible for dual citizenship. Is this positive or negative? I would argue that the status of dual citizenship per se is not necessarily a problem, but that dual allegiance, in the sense of the active exercise of loyalty and allegiance to a foreign state, is inimical to American democracy.
The concept of dual allegiance — the idea that some Americans (with the special privilege of voting in two nations) have political allegiance to a foreign state as well as to the United States — is inconsistent with the moral foundation of American democracy. Our form of government is based on equality of citizenship, and dual-allegiance citizens are by definition civic bigamists.
Dual-allegiance citizens exist in a political space beyond the American constitutional community. Besides being part of “We the People of the United States,” they are apparently members of another “people” — a foreign political community — with different and competing responsibilities and commitments. These foreign interests and commitments dilute their commitment, attachment, and allegiance to the United States. (For those who want the long version of this argument, see my 2005 report on the topic for the Center for Immigration Studies.)
The poster boy for dual allegiance is Univision’s Jorge Ramos...
