Israelis have dual citizenship. The problem is that it is hard to represent either country, especially when they have opposing policies. It also gives the dual citizen twice the leverage in his voting authority over the average citizen.

In the case of Mexico, it enables the legal Mexican in the US to vote for a candidate of his choice regarding NAFTA matters and vote in Mexico for a candidate supporting the same position, thereby doubling his effect on a certain issue. The same principle applies to Israel and is one reason Israeli policy has such a strong effect in our country.

Does it make any difference to you that the voting in Mexico might be done as part of a "Mexicans abroad" district (really, a United States district)? This somehow seems wrong to me. Although a lot of people in Mexico might have even more reason to object to it.
