Perspective: Dual Citizenship and Federal Elected Office:

 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." Matt 6:24

I can already hear some preparing to charge me with abusing Scripture to make a point. However, I will make my counter up front: Matthew uses a universal, temporal truism to enlighten a spiritual teaching. Using it in reverse is then not an issue for me.

As it applies to Elected Office and Dual Citizenship, I find it at the very least naive that those with no evidence of interest in assimilation should also be allowed to hold any Federal Office. Dual citizenship will preclude you from employment by certain 3 letter agencies but it's OK to hold Office where that same person has the authority to direct those same agencies??

Given that certain groups remain cloistered so as not to be "adversely" affected by dirty Americans and that they harbor ill will and active allegiance with their country of origin, it would be logical to disqualify them from holding office especially where holding office is not considered a natural Right. Worse yet, it cannot be predetermined how their bifurcated Loyalty will affect all future decisions.

The Deconstructionists will twist their reasoning skills into an unrecognizable knot to defend this manifestly dangerous flirtation with welcoming potential foreign agents into the Legislative chambers of Federal Governance. This only highlights their disdain for the Sovereignty and Security of the Nation.

There has been recent, high-profile disclosure of the Somalis embezzling money from federal autism funds and using it for personal bling and sending it to Al-Shabaab in Somalia. Coupling this with Ilhan Omar's continually displayed disdain for America, Americans, American culture, Constitutional vision are extant object lessons and a petri dish in danger of spilling over...

By the way, there isn't an official list of serving or past seated Reps or Senators holding dual citizenship because that information is considered "confidential and personal "...

Point being, this should never have been allowed; the establishment of de facto protectorates in Minneapolis, Dearborn, Houston, Dallas, Lewiston and more and certainly not allowing people with conflicting loyalties from holding any Federal job or Office - period!
