The ones from NJ don't need the sun. They already glow in the dark.

I am totally against duel citizenship because a person simply cannot have undivided allegiance to two nations. This very issue is what led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WW2. Though that action was wrong because that group were actually US citizens only, but it is easy to understand the concern at that time about their allegiance and loyalty. Today, we have about 50+ million Mexicans, including about 20 million i******s living in our country. Mexico, a few years ago, went to great effort to ensure that Mexicans having become US citizens understood that their were still Mexican citizens, even inventing the slogan of " Mexican citizens living in another country." Mexico was (and continues to) trying to make sure their people living here NEVER became real Americans and always retained their allegiance to Mexico only. All the s**mming asylum seekers from El Salvador, Haiti, Guatamalia, etc, are the same, coming here only for material gain for themselves, but never actually assimulating, no intention or desire of becoming Americans. Just think, every single year we deliberately add a million plus foreigners to our population, people having no commonalities with Americans or America, just poor folks wanting our material wealth for themselves. Have you all ever wondered how many of these annual million plus strangers actually EVER become US citizens? I'd be willing to bet that at least half do not. Just think about how powerless it makes our country to have millions and millions and millions of people living here, taking every advantage of our nation, without being one of us, without any fellow feelings with Americans, without any allegiance to the USA. Suppose a war broke out between the US and Mexico, where would all these Mexicans in our country stand, where would their loyalties lie, with the country where they live OR with the country of their heart, customs, language, etc?? Personally, I think legal immigration should be severely restricted today simply because we have NO need of more people and the few we allow should renounce all allegiance to their birth nations because they should be moving here for something much greater than person material gain. If the very foundations of our nation are not their reasons, then they are not the people we need.

I have read about the Mexicans that have acquired US citizenship and v**e here AND in Mexico. Even read about the last Mexican p**********l race where the opposing candidate actually held rallies here in the US to get Mexicans living here to v**e for him. Not sure about this, but seem to recall that Mexicans here could v**e at the Mexican embassy wherever they were living (Texas, Georgia, etc). Of course, the i******s here could always return long enough to v**e just as I am sure many return to visit and return here without problem.

So many US expats living in Asia, with US citizen children who have never been here. Those expats still v**e.
In addition, there is a population of Filipino Americans, who were born in the United States, who are immigrating to the Philippines, known as "baliktad". The total number of US citizens living in the Philippines is more than 220,000, with estimates reaching as high as 600,000
