Hmmm....i guess that's a sticky wicket cuz as property owners they have an interest in the municipality. Do they also v**e in both national e******ns?


To my knowledge they didn't v**e in the last Canadian e******n...
But I could be wrong...
They v**e in both provincial/state e******ns...
And I know they v**ed in the 2016 e******n in the States.. Both are registered Republicans and Trump supporters...

Yeah, he was born in Canada. I like him for his record in front of the Supreme Court.


Born in Canada and now a potential candidate for POTUS?
Is that legal?
Or are my facts wrong?

As many have said, you cannot serve two masters easily, much less three, including God! Dual citizenship should be illegal. If you pledge allegiance to the US, then you should drop your other citizenship yourself, or be made to legally.


Bravo! Your comment is so right on. When my grandfather immigrated from Norway in the early 1900's he had to sign a document saying he no longer held allegiance to King Harald of Norway. What has happened in our day and age that we are so naïve that we really think people coming here should still maintain their rights of citizenship to a foreign nation--in addition to having the rights of American citizenship? This is beyond preposterous! I agree, "If you pledge allegiance to the US, then you should drop your other citizenship yourself, or be made to legally." Actually, that act should be done on a voluntary basis, because you should think that you are trading up a much better deal. This kind of thinking, that folks should have allegiance to other nations is exactly what weakens the fabric of our society, and our nation as a whole.

That is an interesting addition to my question...
I was refering to foreign immigrants to the States who retain their original citizenships...
But the question should apply equally to American citizens who apply for citizenship in other countries as well...
My older sister was born in America (her mother is American... my father's second marriage) and later received dual citizenship via my father...

How do you feel about dual citizenship and v****g rights?



The US rules.

I have mixed emotions about v****g. I though that Mexicans v****g in Mexico would v**e for pro US people and align with our policies.

Interesting perspective...
Do you think that many are aligning with the current policies?
Only Mexico... Or do you include other nations as well?

In the past months there have been numerous threads concerning v***r f***d and illegal practices...

Yet one wonders about the wisdom of allowing individuals with split allegiances to v**e in e******ns that effect the entire nation...

Numerous citizens from Canada and Mexico (as well as a host of other nations) have achieved dual citizenship and are legally allowed to v**e in American e******ns...

Given the recent tensions between these respective nations is it truly wise to allow these individuals to v**e.... Can their allegiance to the States be considered impartial... Will they exercise their democratic rights in an unbiased manner...

To all of the OPP members...
What is your perspective?

I am more worried about how all these L*****t have been caught plotting v***r f***d and the elected Democrats saying it don't happen supporting no form of v**er ID. Even their primaries it's not who wins but who can c***t the system It's not the best man but the worst criminal and complete i***ts that v**ed for hillary.

Well, they're obviously smart I really don't think it's right, tho, to v**e in both nationals.

He was a candidate in 2016, I’m not aware of now, I haven’t heard he’s going to run again for 2020...

There was an issue about that in 2016, some think he was constitutionally eligible and others thought not, obviously president Trump quelled that controversy.

Not as far as I can tell.

Mixed emotions? Either you think only U.S. citizens (that pledge allegiance to the U.S. only) should v**e in U.S. e******ns or you don’t.

Who cares what Mexico does...

Panama, yes. But I believe he was born in a U.S. military hospital. If I’m not mistaken, I think if born on a military base outside the country qualifies as U.S. soil.
