Your thought process is quite shallow. Can you explain who literally millions of people around the world risk all they have to come to America?iluvdr said:How about a lifetime of paying taxes on worldwide income???
or terrorist attempts?
As a "American" you should understand that you are US property! therefore the interest of the nation are above your personal interest. this sound considerable to me..
Sure america is much better then most countries, but then again it depends on your situation...
Any wealthy individual in his right mind should seriously consider waiving there american citizenship...
Let face it america is not all it's caught up to be... at least not today!
No offense to other americans on this board, but with your civil liberties being batch every day on the count on 9-11....The US suddenly does not look so attractive to those who can afford leaving confortably else where...
Good luck to your friend!

You've swallowed way too much anti-American kool-aid bile.

You friend is a real a$$hole, BTW. People kill to get that little blue passport....you don't have to like it, but you gotta admit it is so much better than anything else....

Utilizing iluvdr's fast-track method to Residencia and citizenship in the DR by using a lawyer who is "well connected" can result in being deemed a "man without a country" in the long run.Rick Snyder said:I believe the question within the question was well answered by La Profe 1 if you read the link that he posted.
If you failed to read it then allow me to post a portion of text from that link;
"Persons intending to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware that, unless they already possess a foreign nationality, they may be rendered stateless and, thus, lack the protection of any government. They may also have difficulty traveling as they may not be entitled to a passport from any country. Even if they were not stateless, they would still be required to obtain a visa to travel to the United States, or show that they are eligible for admission pursuant to the terms of the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP). If found ineligible for a visa or the VWPP to come to the U.S., a renunciant, under certain circumstances, could be permanently barred from entering the United States. Nonetheless, renunciation of U.S. citizenship may not prevent a foreign country from deporting that individual back to the United States in some non-citizen status."
