Anybody have a picture of this dung-sack? I like to know and see whom I despise.
Feel free to stay away as long as you like, Boris. In fact, don't come back at all and we'll all be better off.
Do not deign to bore us, Boris. Make good use of the exit door-us.
I do believe that giving up US citizenship should be much, much easier. And I believe that we would all benefit if we tried to persuade our congressmen of that idea.
It should be as easy as an uncontested divorce.
There are only four things that can be quickly proven, that should in any way slow the process down.
1) Criminal conviction or evasion of a felony charge.
2) Tax evasion or attempted money laundering.
3) Espionage or intent to violate US law after departure.
4) Unwillingness of another country to grant citizenship.
On average, perhaps one or two hundred thousand American citizens would each year exercise their option to leave for good. And *this* is the important part.
Almost all of them are kooks, freaks, the mentally ill and moonbats. Good riddance!
Many of them are deserving enough to get a free one-way ticket out.
So renouncing his U.S. citizenship is simply a metaphor? I hadn't thought of that . . . .
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since his children were born to an American citizen, aren't they also US citizens by default?
There was a troll rant posted last week that complained about how hard it was to renounce ones citizenship. In fact I've heard similar comments from liberals lately.
I think the game is to convince us that we're held hostage behind the iron curtain of America. In reality the biggest impediment to renouncing one's citizenship is getting another country to accept you. The simple fact is that the state department isn't going to allow millions of liberals renounce their citizenship only to have them remain in this country.
I've done some reading on it so I can show whiny liberals how to go about "escaping concentration camp Amerikkka". So far there have been no takers.
AMFYOYO
Yeah I read it and I stand by what I said. Screw him.
Don't let the door hit you in the rear end.
If born in US, then you're a US citizen (now maybe that should be revisited), his father was presumably here on a temporary work assignment. Seems silly that he got hassle from US Immigration tho'.
I'm not sure what the deal for children of foreign parents is in UK as they've diddled around with it so much but if you're a British citizen you don't lose it by becoming a citizen of another country.
Mr Boris is in fact a Tory Member of Parliament.
He's a British citizen. He would like to travel to or through America without - in essence - renouncing his British Citizenship. As he is a Conservative Member of Parliament this would put a serious crimp in his dayjob.
Hey, hey, hey, just shut up go away! Nobody asked you for a f#@&ing explanation!
If born in US, then you're a US citizen (now maybe that should be revisited)...

Yes it should be revisited and changed...we have HOARDS of illegals, as well, invading this country just to drop "anchor babies" here for that purpose. It is a sick law that needs to be fixed. But nothing will probably happen, since it could mean votes for self-empowering Washington pols.
This is the line that defines and codifies the absolute arrogance of the author. Yes, do tell, lucky for him he got along and sought reinforcements. I can't imagine the verbal bloodbath he avoided.
Good day, sir, and good luck. I've a feeling you will need it.
So are a significant number of "asians" (read muslims) in the world.
Don't let the door ...ah, fergetit!
