    This article got me thinking; many people come from foreign lands but yet retain a certain amount of affiliation with their motherland. But if it comes down to who you chose to defend, you have to make a choice. You're either on the side of the United States or your birth country. Since a naturalized citizen takes an oath to renounce foreign allegiance and/or title, by giving secrets to a foreign government, such a citizen would violate that oath, and hence the conditions on which their citizenship was based.


    Poll:
    Should naturalized US citizens who act in a treasonous fashion be striped of their citizenship and deported?

    Additionally, if the US and the People's Republic of China were to fight each other in a war, would you fight for the US or willfully forfeit your US (or Canadian, Australian, UK, etc) citizenship and go fight for the PRC?

    ok my made up option!!
    >_< id fight for none of them haha
    one is where my ancestor's background lies, the other is where i was born
    its too hard to choose, id probably be demonstrating n ask all the other dutch chinese to support me with the call for peace :D?

    good idea?

    anyway, if i were to pick an option in the poll it would be the last.
    of course its normal for a country to deport ANYONES ass for that matter, even if its like a die hard american!
    id u betray the country u go....why would they allow u to stay, deporting makes sense
