In the United States There is an important debate about this an initiative by Law that aims to abolish dual citizenship and that, according to an immigration lawyer, can have strong, far-reaching effects on the population. The expert opposed the proposal, arguing that the number of nations banning it is minimal.
The lawyer Hans Meyer said in 9News that if dual citizenship is abolished in the North American country, It could have “pretty profound” consequences.
There is no accurate official data on how many people in the United States have dual citizenship.. The Census Bureau doesn’t ask specifically (only whether a person is an American citizen or not).
That’s what attorney Meyer argued The impact will be “far-reaching.”and argued that there are millions of people in the country who use dual citizenship. “Almost everyone knows someone with dual citizenship. “This is something very common,” he said.
Meyer knows that the central factor in the debate over the legislation is whether a person with dual citizenship can maintain their loyalty to the United States.
In this sense, the expert considered this to be possible since “Almost without exception, people are very excited about becoming American citizens.”. It’s a dream that everyone has.”
He also pointed out that On a sentimental level, it is very difficult for a person to truly forget their roots.and will always have a strong connection to the country in which he was born.
“I don’t think you force anyone to do it give up part of its historical identity“Before accepting American citizenship, one must necessarily serve the public interest,” he said. He insisted That would benefit neither the economy, the union nor security in the North American country..
“That always happens People really want to be engaged American citizensbut they have a connection to their country of origin, their history, their ancestry, which they are also proud of,” he explained.
Both Americans and the migrant community are affected by the measure. The first group would lose local citizenship if they voluntarily acquired another citizenship.
Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio presented The Exclusive Citizenship Law of 2025which has been referred to the Justice Committee and is now facing a lengthy legislative process.
The proposal aims at a “Prohibition of dual or multiple citizenship” which essentially prevents a person from having foreign citizenship in addition to U.S. citizenship.
The purpose of the measure is to establish that this is the case It is in the national interest to ensure that American citizenship is preserved “exclusively.” It also dictates that there must be loyalty to the North American country “undivided” to preserve the integrity of national citizenship.
