Syria's state news agency Sana alleged that a man with dual U.S.-Egyptian citizenship

Excuse my ignorance... But I wasn't aware that the US recognized dual citizenship. My understanding is that one cannot be a US citizen and the citizen of another nation - If you are naturalize, you swear off any oath of allegiance to another nation. If you adopt citizenship of another nation - then you forfeit your US citizenship...yes? If not - then something is terribly amiss..

Well you got that sentence correct.

The United States allows dual citizenship.
For example, if you were born in Mexico you are a native-born Mexican.
If you move to the United States and become a naturalized US citizen, you now have dual citizenship.
Dual citizens can carry two passports and essentially live, work, and travel freely within their native and naturalized countries.

Some dual citizens also enjoy the privilege of voting in both countries, owning property in both countries, and having government health care in both countries.

The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.

We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country.
Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
