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

For Muslims it should be free.

Maybe for democrats too.

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!

[UnwashedPeasant]

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.

They aren't going anywhere. Too many getting free stuff.

[factmart]

We should give money to do this as long as they self deport.

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...
