If any US citizen becomes, say, a British Subject, do they lose any US benefits? Social Security? Medicare? Since the other country does not notify the US, the individual can maintain two passports, and does continue to own property in both countries.
Is there any downside to taking on another citizenship?
No, but if you sneak in here Illegally, you get a whole bunch of stuff.
Parents duel citizens and born in yet another country.
That's a false statement. the U.S. does recognize dual citizenship.
There is no limit to the number of citizenships any individual can hold.
No country has the right to ask any of its citizens whether thay are a citizen of another nation.This is because citizenship is decided within the country where one has it, not outside of it by any other jurisdiction.
Passports are the property of the nation who issues them and cannot be seized or demanded by any other country unless a crime has been committed by an individual, and even then a judge must order the seizure or its void.
Now if you know these things you can travel freely between countries where you have citizenship, entering them as a matter of right rather than as a matter of guest privilege, The customs examinations are conducted very differently for returning citizens, usually much more efficient and speedy.Many people do just that.There is nothing illegal about it.
So, because the US Government recognizes dual citizenship, that means it is not a lie?
How do you figure?
Did the US Government suddenly become infallible?
LOL...close enough.
Everything in your cut-and-paste is consistent with what I reported in my post.

I had to sort through about 120 ROTC cadets in my Region back in the mid 2000s who had clamied dual citizenship. Each one had to send a registered letter to the embassy of the other nation declaring they denied that nations citizenship and were solely US. Those who refused, scholarship or not, went to the door. Scholarship Juniors or seniors found it a costly decision - recoupment. Seems that for a few years college PMS’ were not fully confirming such status and the result was a mess.
AFA your childs Doc, unless you know his citizenship as a fact, I dunno.
Officers are agents of the US government, enlisted folks are not- hence the appellation “officer”_- holding an office of the US. Officers are appointed( commissioned) by the service secretaries or by the president rank dependent and approved by congress- just like other federal office holders.
As a retired Army officer, I will hold that rank and title until I die or by law am relieved of it.
Well, the US does not recognize dual citizenship anyway. Does she have two passports?
Maybe she could be a Thai navy type, keep her money too but then she would be in a 3rd world situation an in a Muslim mess to boot.
Makes you think the US ain’t such a bad place to be after all. Maybe even worth serving in uniform, and forget the money- Thailand is a hell hole except for tourist locales. Been there too.
I’m a dual citizen but in order to keep my clearance they required me to turn in my passport and denounce allegiance to my country of birth
north korea ?
iran ?
cuba ?
Japan.
boy I heard the Japanese gov’t feels a personal insult when they get a dear john letter. Dude that took guts
I didn’t experience any repercussion, but I have no plan to ever return.
