[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half of my kids’ school either isn’t American at all or has dual citizenship with another country as mine do.  I hope my kids aren’t pledging allegiance. [/quote]

Huh?? What does this even mean? How do you know who has what citizenship and whatnot? Why are you even here if you hope your kids aren't pledging allegiance? Why don't you just go back to Russia or China or whatever your citizenship is?[/quote]

And that was really your entire intent behind starting this thread. You just wanted to tell people "to go back where they came from." It isn't going to happen. We are here legally, naturalized citizens of this country and citizens by birth of another. I have no desire to recite the pledge to this country or any other. This blid nationalism has got to go. Spend your energy working on real issues such as lack of access to health care, or a living wage for all of our citizens instead of this BS.[/quote]
Hm… Was that your attitude during your naturalization ceremony, or were you just performing?

This dual citizenship thing should stop.[/quote]

Why? Are you jealous you don't have one? I'm legally allowed to have dual citizenship and intend to keep both. [/quote]
DP. While one is allowed to have a dual citizenship, one can only serve one master because in case of conflict — such as a war between the U.S. and your country of origen — the expectation during the swearing-in ceremony is that your loyalty be to the U.S., and not to your country of origen. So, were you just performing then in order to obtain the benefits that come with being a U.S. citizen?

Nobody is jealous of your dual citizenship, we are just confused about your true understanding of loyalty when you pledged allegiance to the U.S. during your naturalization. [/quote]

I'm not at all confused. You can choose to be confused by my choices. That's fine with me.[/quote]
