I have dual citizenship, it just so happens I live in America.

I may have made a mistake in renouncing my Canadian citizenship, which I have never ceased to promise to try to regain.

There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.

When they discover I have a green card there may be some problems.

I have never concealed my dual citizenship. People involved in state business should probably declare their dual citizenship if they have it.

In the '70s I was in exile; every time I went back I wondered if they'd take my passport away.

Leaving America means renouncing your citizenship, moving out of the country and leaving family and friends behind. You can retain your citizenship if you like, but you'll still be away from loved ones and still be paying taxes. You lose all the good stuff about America and have to keep all the bad stuff.

You want to defend citizenship? Don't persecute or isolate those without papers. Just live like a citizen. That'd be a first-class way to be American.
