Any eligibility requirements for having dual citizenship for the US (United States America) and UK (British)?
Maybe it would just be easier to become a citizen of one country and then renounce the citizenship of the country you are from. Anywho, does anyone know much about this stuff?
Answer:
The USA does not encourage dual citizenship. It does, however, recognize that someone taking US citizenship cannot always renounce their original citizenship. It has recently relaxed its attitude on that a little bit. The two examples quoted in USCIS literature (which I can no longer find online) were military servicee obligations in the country of birth and the requirement to use that country's passport when entering that country.
A US citizen taking (for instance) UK citizenship would probably lose thie right to a US passport if the US goivernment was so inclined.
The reasons why the US is historically opposed to dual citizenship are pretty much as articulated in your question, although I don't think the US Department of State has ever called other countries devils (at least not in public).
Could it be connected to how wealthy one is?
Dual citizenship occurs when a child whose parents are citizens in the other nation is born in nation not of his parents citizenship. IE British or American Parents have a child while abroad from their country. If the country has the laws that both Britain and the US do then the child is a citizen of the country his parents are from and the country he is born in.
