This could complicate life for many people. Of course many details have yet to be worked out.

I seriously doubt if this even comes to fruition. Moreno is another cultist trying to emulate the wishes and actions of the Dear Leader, not to mention that it may help gain him some Brownie points with the WH, etc. This is not the first time such a proposal has been offered up to Congress.

Disturbing news for sure...xenophobia will not help with the global debt overhang, and I fear it will be a common scapegoat by politicians to explain the lack of clear answers for inflation, unemployment and global malaise.

Citizenship is considered inalienable in some countries, so you cannot formally renounce it.

In many other countries, renunciation is allowed, but you don't really have any control over the process.
You can submit a petition or a declaration?, but the authorities don't have to do anything about it.

In countries that officially ban dual citizenship, proof that a person simply tried to give up their other citizenship is often accepted as sufficient.
For example, a receipt showing that a certified letter was sent to the consulate can serve as evidence of that attempt.
In practice, this ends up working much like a verbal declaration of renunciation, which is the standard procedure in the US now.

In the case of Argentina, I have read that it is not possible to formally renounce one's citizenship.

As I understand, citizenship by naturalization can be renounced, but not by birthright. Those holding dual citizenship by birthright would require a very specific scenario (born in a country with "jus soli" with parents from countries with "jus sanguinis".)

I strongly doubt our lovely senator from Ohio even understands those details. It seems obvious to me that, lacking a way for the Senator to deport legalized "foreign" citizens, they clearly want only people born in America to be the only Americans allowed.

Born 14.02.67 in Bogotá. Après moi, le déluge.

Would it be too obnoxious of me to suggest to the US expats here that maybe they should return to their shithole country and maybe take with them some of the decency they learned about while away? It's getting tiresome, you know.

Undocumented or irregular Venezuelan refugees' worst enemies are probably their own documented compatriots with the right to vote. In the US, immigrants with a vote, voted for Trump. In Chile, they will vote for the Nazi candidate, despite Kast and Trump promising to expel not only irregular immigrants, but also those on the legal path to residency or citizenship.

It's particularly sad that countries like Chile and the US have failed to recognise the wave of Venezuelan migration, difficult as it is to absorb, for what it is: the most educated, best English-speaking, most easily assimilated immigrants in their history. Would they have preferred Peruvians?

If your suggestion refers to native born US citizens living in Argentina, then what has it to do with the subject of this thread?
