[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will be just fine with their US passports.[/quote] People are trying to have it both ways and use their foreign passport in the other country to avoid the line and then the US one to avoid the line back home. [/quote]

No. It's not gaming the system.

My DS was born in the US but also has Canadian citizenship because I was born in Canada. Now we live in Canada. We left the US when he was 1.5 years old.

I didn't bother maintaining his US passport because I didn't want to have to deal with keeping 2 passports active.

When crossing the US- Canada border, we've been told by CBP on US side that he should enter the US with a US passport, and enter Canada with his Canadian passport, *even though he/we no longer live in the US since he was 1.5 years old.

He has never been denied entry to the US because he can enter as a visitor from Canada without a visa, but there have been instances where the CBP agent will sternly remind us of this rule. I've told the agent that it didn't make sense to keep his US passport active since we haven't lived in the US since he was 1.5 years old but they're still expecting that he have a US passport.
