Breitbart ^ | 14 Mar 2026 | Amy Furr

It is now 80 percent cheaper for Americans who choose to renounce their U.S. citizenship to make it official.

The U.S. State Department on Friday published a rule that cut the cost from $2,350 to $450 after it was promised in 2023. However, the rule did not take effect until now, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

“The Department of State (‘Department’) is proposing to amend the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (‘Schedule’) to reduce the current fee for Administrative Processing of a Request for a Certificate of Loss of Nationality of the United States (CLN) from $2,350 to $450,” the rule on the Federal Register website read.

We should pay registered Dems to renounce their citizenship.

We pay illegals to self-deport and most of them are less dangerous than Democrats. Less obnoxious too!

We should pay people to renounce citizenship. Anyone who would take $xxxx for this is probably undesirable and probably costs society far more than that 1-time payment.

We should also pay people to get sterilized for similar reasons.

Let’s NOT start pushing the hate thing like democrats do... if someone wants to leave, fine. But pushing some groups to leave isn’t our way. Well, unless we’re talking about Hollywood left wingers...

Heck, make it free.

Make it as easy as possible to renounce your citizenship and leave.

And never come back......

Leaving it to Democrats, the fees would go up so that the “rich” can’t leave. Leaving it to Republicans, the fees would go down so those who do not love America can self-deport.

Uganda, at least, doesn't cave to the "international community" on active perversion. They are benefitting from a greatly reduced STD transmission rate (including AIDS) because of it. Their Anglican Church is also the leader of a breakaway faction than the home church in England. Their version is remarkably more sane. I'm rooting for Uganda.

Somalia, on the other hand . . .
