Post blogger Mike McGarry, co-founder of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, sees treason when it comes to dual citizenship. “A person is considered a dual national,” he blogs, “when he or she owes allegiance to more than one country at the same time. Dual citizenship—political polygamy—necessarily means dual allegiances, “a dangerous, impossible concept. Mexican dual citizenship, for example, was designed to encourage Mexican nationals to become U.S. citizens so they could vote in the interests of Mexico, something the Mexican government made no effort to disguise. Get a load of the imperial arrogance of Mexico’s three most recent presidents. President Ernesto Zedillo (1994-2000) said in Dallas, Texas, in 1996, to a crowd of U.S. citizens of Mexican heritage.”
