[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that is the answer- aipac IS a lobbying arm of a foreign government and [b]no us citizens who have dual nationality should work in government.[/b]  I say this as a dual national. [/quote]

I’ve seen this statement a lot on this page and it makes me wonder, when people say this are they talking about those who hold citizenship from both Israel and the United States or are they talking about American citizens who are Jewish? Because those two things are not the same but more and more I’m beginning to feel that people don’t understand that very real difference. [/quote]
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. [/quote]

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)[/quote]
