Comment on Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passport

  That’s not what this page says: www.usa.gov/dual-citizenship

  Whether you were born an American citizen or became one through naturalization, if you have dual citizenship, you:

  • Do not have to choose one nationality over the other. As a U.S. citizen, you may naturalize in another country without risking your U.S. citizenship.

    It used to be the case that the US formally didn’t allow dual nationality, but other nations didn’t mind if you had US nationality as well as theirs. So many people were just not telling the US about their second nationality that the US got rid of that rule maybe 15 or so years ago.

    Interesting that the US already has this requirement

    Must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the U.S.

      Kinda makes sense to me. I don’t understand the issue this brings up. If you’re a dual national and want to enter the UK (or the US as in the above example) carry your UK (or US) passport. Otherwise if you don’t want to then pay a large unnecessary sum of money for a shitty stamp.

      I don’t get the outrage here. It’s not hard to carry a passport 🤷🏼‍♀️. What am I missing?
