From my standpoint- and I wont speak for others- its already crippled by this. That wouldn't be removing dual citizenship, it would just mean you need to choose if you are going to work in the government. |
Are you really so xenophobic you want to prohibit dual citizens (and I assume documented non citizens authorized to work in US) from working as bus drivers, teachers and first responders? Do you realize how insane and hateful you sound? |
You are really pedantic arent you? In positions of power: judicial, legislative, and executive.
|
Oh so now when called out you are walking back your ridiculous statement saying that "No one with ANY dual citizenship of ANY country can serve in ANY level of government" |
This. And the mental gymnastics it’s supporters force us to engage in to support this most racist nation is infuriating. |
Which local governments would be crippled by this? What other countries allow their government workers, especially those with security clearances, allow dual loyalties? |
Why would you assume only Israel. People with government security clearances with access to US secrets and governance should not have dual citizenship/loyalties to any country. There are federal government workers with dual citizenship with Ireland, Nigeria, Israel, Italy, India, China, Surinam, etc. This should not be the norm. |
There are already many jobs where having dual citizenship is prohibitive for getting the requisite security clearance. The vast majority of federal government workers don't even need a security clearance and yet you seem okay with making broad, xenophobic statements about who should be working in "government" (which YES, includes state and local governments, forgetting that the people who make sure your trash gets picked up and properly disposed of is DISGUSTING) |
Jewish is not a nationality. It seems like you're the only one who doesn't understand the difference? No one who works in any level of the US government should have dual citizenship anywhere. Israel, Saudi Arabia, UK, Sealand, wherever. I don't care about anyone's personal religion. |
I'm the daughter of immigrants. I love immigrants, and I'm jealous of people with dual citizenship (I'm not eligible due to naturalization dates). But I think it's insane to think any person with a citizenship elewhere should work in the US government. And yes, probably not more local gov't too. It's a pretty obvious conflict of interest. |
Please name any developed countries which do not allow people with dual citizen to work in local government? |
Sounds like you have some serious internalized xenophobia if you think immigrants (I can't imagine you'd be okay with documented non citizens with work authorization working as :gasp: teachers either) shouldn't work in local government. Yes, DMV jurisdictions would face major issues with such a rule. There are already teacher and bus driver shortages. |
I'm the PP who asked this question and I do understand the difference. I also know that lately this question of "dual loyalty/dual nationality" only seems to get applied around issues related to zionism or Israel, and often it feels like there's an underlying suggestion that Jews, regardless of their citizenship, can't be trusted to have America's best interest at heart. For what it's worth, I'm a 4th generation American Jew with family in Israel but I'm not a dual citizen. I'm also someone who believes in the vision of Israel but detests the current government and has actively participated in the growing protest movement whenever I'm in Israel (most of my Israeli family members and friends were a part of yesterday's strike and protests). This idea that all Israelis are just one thing, that their very presence there makes them complicit in what's going on in Gaza, baffles me. Are all Americans wholly represented by the Trump administration and it's decisions? |

+1 non Jewish DP here. I would happily join US-based protests of Israel if they didn't include some pretty blatant hatred of Jews and people who are unable to distinguish between Jewish people and the Israeli government |
