Should mexican singer Thalia's new american citizenship be revoked?

Question

Mex singer Thalia is married to Mariah Carey's ex. She has become a citizen of the USA. She took the oath: http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=66b4b789f87b2074d9da1887c2c48424
The first words: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;". In other words, when she became a U.S. citizen, Thalia swore that she was renouncing her Mexican citizenship.
Here's what Thalia said,"This morning I acquired United States citizenship. Nevertheless, under the laws of my country, Mexico, I can also have Mexican citizenship." http://www.los40.com/articulo/noticias/Thalia/consigue/nacionalidad/estadounidense/conservara/mexicana/l40actn01/20060125l40l40not_2/Tes/
Americans don't give a flying duck about the worth of their citizenship. If you're going to give it away to Mexico, what will you get in return?

"I feel that this step will give me the opportunity to contribute to and support even more the Latin community in the United States. I am of Mexican nationality, and I will always be a proud Mexican in heart and soul."
(Translated from what Thalia really said, "siento que este paso me dará la oportunidad de aportar y apoyar todavía mas a la comunidad Latina en los Estados Unidos. Soy de nacionalidad mexicana, y siempre seré una orgullosa mexicana de alma y corazón")

Answer 1

I agree that we shouldn't permit dual citizenship, I think voting in two countries is a conflict of interest, and we should be like Germany in that regard. However, you need to take it up with the Supreme Court.

To the person above me, I am not suggesting you should forget your past or heritage, just get off of the fence about where 'home' is and where your loyalties lie. Otherwise you need residence, not citizenship.

Answer 2

I think more countries should allow Dual Citizenships as long as that individual can take on learning and respecting the laws of their countries they want to live in.
It’s sad, if I go to Japan and end up liking it and stay there enough to get a citizenship would have to revoke my US citizenship, but if Japan allowed Dual Citizenship I would be able to go back and fourth no problem!
It’s really a hindrance.
It does not matter where you are from, if you come to the US to live you need to became an “American of the United States” and follow the rules and regulations and then become a member in our society. That it no way means you should forget your past!

It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://tr.im/SQpub

Singing teachers will cost money and can be expensive so they're not for everyone. Singing can be learned so it's not an "either you have it or you don't" kind of thing.

Whether you sound like crap or you're decent, I recommend this singing course. It's one of the best methods to learn to sing well in a short amount of time. It's all about using efficient techniques that work.

Answer 4

No. She hasn't done anything against the US and she at least has taken the steps to become a citizen.

It would be a big difference if she were coming out saying how she hates America and everything it stands for.

Besides she's a singer and her audience is Mexican, can you blame her for voicing her support of Mexico? It's not as if we are depending on her to join the military and defend us from anyone.

Answer 5

Which ones? Life? Liberty? The pursuit of happiness? They may not support some of the fascist values held by ultra right wing christians, but I'd say that was a good thing.

Answer 6

Regardless of the wording of the citizenship oath, a person who becomes a citizen of the US does not lose their citizenship status from another country unless that country's laws make it so. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1753.html

Answer 7

By that yardstick - 25 % of the population of the US should loose their citizenship

Answer 8

It is legal to have dual citizenship and she has a right to say what she pleases.

Answer 9

Thank congress for that change. Clinton signed it into law.

Two decades ago, you needed to give up your citizenship to other countries when you became a U.S. citizen.

Answer 10

The USA oath of allegiance is stong and is an oath. You should not take oaths lightly...
Thalia, whoever she is, made her name in Mexico so she should not sell this short.
People only look at wher there is profit
