    US does recognize dual citizenships, who told you that?

    Here is a real fact though, that three axle trailer will not be worth as much in Texas as it is at home, Texas does not allow any more weight for that third axle, it will just cost you tonnage.

    Concorde seems to be I guess right
    The United States does not formally recognize dual citizenship. However, it also has not taken any stand against it, either legally or politically. Typically, no American will forfeit his or her citizenship by undertaking the responsibilities of citizenship in another country

    At one time they discontinued giving out a dual citizenship, then at some point started doing them again, but I think they have discontinued giving them out again. Those that had them are still good to go. I know a couple that have them and can work or live in either country or both.

    US father & CAD mother= dual citz children. As long as the dual citizenships are formalized before age 18, one can live or work in either country....

    Maybe some areas of canada are bad, but the farther north a guy goes, and away from huge populations, I sure like it and the people in it myself. I am talking northern BC, Alberta and the yukon.

    We already have your type, they're called Californians, and we're full.

    Sorry to be rude but, transplants tend to criticize their new home, then vote for the same conditions they left.

    Maybe you'd do alright in another state but, between the citizens, legal Mexicans, and the 2 million illegals I'm just not sure there's the capacity to undo the damage your wonderland has done to you.
     
    AModelCat Thanks this.
