How do you propose that we address dual citizenship?
About twenty years ago,I worked in Human Resources in a government entity. A security guard applied for a leave of absence to go to Israel and serve in the army. He was a dual citizen. The department did not want to grant it,the employee appealed to the entity's attorneys and after much deliberation,the attorneys said his leave should be granted. The department was left short staffed and furious. Life goes on and I forgot all about it.
Nonetheless,while not on the front burner,I have noted several especially egregious incidents wherein the dual citizenship has been used to shelter criminals. The persons suspected or charged with misdoings were secreted to Israel and remain out of reach of authorities. This has occurred with Americans as well as Russians.
With so much going on I lost focus on the subject until I saw this article and remembered how confused the whole immigration problem is and how the dual citizenship only makes the whole situation even more disturbing and disruptive.
It is time to be proactive, we waste a lot of time in this country chasing the runaway carts with the horses that should have been pulling them.
Incidentally,my interest was also piqued several years ago when I heard that Mexicans were going to permit Mexican citizens in the States to vote in Mexico. I was shocked and irate. In talking to other Arizonans about it I was told this was no different than what Israelis did,this reminded me of the "leave of absence" event I had experienced.All in all,I think the time has come to seriously look at this situation.
Any thoughts?
