Don, I think you need to do a little more research on the topic of Dual Citizenship. Here's a good source... webcom.com

RE:"U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship" This is clearly a double standard. Seems to me that if you are offered automatic citizenship shouldn't you be forced to make the decision to take it or not? If you do then you lose your original citizenship. I know some countries that force this issue at age 18 if someone was born in the US but have lived and recieved a passport from another country... Otherwise...shouldn't everyone be able to play the dual citizenship game? Jim
