You make a good point. Those I speak of were individuals who told me it was pride. I don't mean to include those who do not have the dual citizenship option. ... I should have clarified my statement, thanks for the reply.
Its all good brother, you just hit a nerve <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I live here, yet am not a US citizen. My current citizenship affords me to live in all European Union countries, as well as all Schengen Agreement countries, as well as having a safe haven should things go south in this country.
I do take pride in my citizenship as well, I was born with it, I spent 30-some years of my life living there. Even if the current government is letting in all kinds of people who will most likely turn it into an islamic state in 50 years or less, its still my first home.
I just reacted because I know for a fact that most Americans would not give up their citizenship for anything in the world, they are proud to belong in this country, and why shouldn't you be? Even if you happen to live somewhere else.
Again I'll say, if my country allowed dual citizenship, I would become American and proud of it on a moments notice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I can tell you are and that you respect your parents for going all the way because they feel they improved their situation to a point where they would never leave, I totally get that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
