In the wake of the 2024 presidential election, many Americans, especially celebrities, have pledged to give up their citizenship and move elsewhere.

For Americans exploring dual citizenship options or seeking a second passport, many countries offer pathways to citizenship based on ancestry.

These countries often allow citizens of foreign nations to claim nationality through parents, grandparents or direct ancestors.

Here is a list of nine countries offering citizenship by descent, arranged alphabetically.

1. Ghana

Under Ghana’s Citizenship Act of 2002, individuals with a Ghanaian parent can apply for citizenship.

The country’s “Year of Return” initiative encourages African Americans and Afro Caribbeans to reconnect with their heritage.

Ghana also offers the “Right of Abode” program, allowing those with African descent to live indefinitely in the country without needing a visa, provided they can document their lineage.

2. Germany
3. Hungary
4. India
5. Ireland
6. Italy
7. Poland
8. Portugal
9. Spain

Just like Venezuela and Cuba.

So do I.

I have my great- grandfather’s birth certificate. He’s from a town in Froelich. But there’s no way I’d ever move there.

5. Ireland no extradition treaty

Full of leftie scolds these days, though. I got told off by an ignoramus last time I was there. The island is so small, and everybody knows everybody else's business; they simply can't comprehend a landmass and a society as large and varied as ours.

He’s from a town in named Froelich.

Can't find any town by that name. Sure it wasn't "Frölich?" Exact dating would also help (as German borders shift with time).

Actual Birth Certificates are rare, as an entry in the "Kirchenbücher" usually sufficed.

Both my parents were German citizens when I was born, so I qualify for German citizenship. But why would I want to live in that feceshole or anywhere in Europe?

Finally! The Voice of Reason!

You all talk as though you could move to Europe, take an ax, build a log cabin, and live peacefully on your 160 acres of homestead land!

If you think that Uncle Sam is intrusive, wait until you come to "Mouse Utopia!"

Were you guilty of some truly unforgivable breach of etiquette, like failing to express support for the "right" soccer team, while the two of you were crawling around on the bar-room floor, amidst the sawdust and vomit?

I've found that you can usually quiet them down by saying something conciliatory, like "You folks here in SOUTHERN Ireland are almost as civilized as the people in Northern Ireland!"

Conversely: When in Northern Ireland, you can opine, "You folks here in Northern Ireland have learned much from your masters in London!"

The Irish, or rather, most of them, are not alone in this incomprehension…I must confess. America is a country which, though having tried to explore her for about forty years now, I am still struggling to comprehend🙂

See? I’m stupid, I think 🙁

[ViLaLuz]

The state is Froelich. The town is Ebermenstadt. My spelling might be off.

What’s interesting is the birth certificate is done on cloth, not paper. We had a family attorney verify it. It’s just nice to have a piece of family history going back to the 1800s.

Not stupid at all. America has always, always been a very diverse nation and there is always something more to see, to learn, or to find out about. People come here from everywhere. Our cuisine has elements from everywhere, and so does our language and our music. But we are uniquely under the same umbrella: the rule of law—until recently, when Democrats gained too much power and began making up the rules as they go along instead of by the established constitutional processes.

Only racists see America as "whites, and then everybody else." I am in my 70s, but I went to school even back in the 50s with kids of many ethnicities and races, including Native American, African-American, Hispanic, Chinese, Jews and Christians, and many distinct types of Europeans. From the beginning, people of many races, religions and belief systems intermingled. Only the haters banded together, formed the Democrat party, objected to everything decent or true, and divided people into groups that they rigidly defined.
