i also always thought only youth with one merican, and one other country parent, were permitted to have dual-citizenship, and they had to choose one or the other, when they come of legal adult age.

that's not so? well slap my mama! i did not know that!

ok then well.....

People from Countries that allow dual-citizenship, after they acquire U.S. naturalization:

************************************************** ***********
By the way, the U.S. does look the other way when it comes on to some selective countries such as, Israle.......

I feel, we need to be more even handed accross the board, and not be selective when it comes to some specific countries.

I agree. There should not be different rules for different people.
