| Message | What benefit would there be to banning duel citizenship? Some people might live in our nation as well as a different nation throughout the year (maybe they have a parent from each nation). Why should we make their lives more difficult by forcing them to choose a citizenship? We see no benefit for anyone by banning multiple citizenship. -Christy Bell, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |
