[zoom rader]

No sure, but I knew Stokely Carmichael was banned from returning to Trin by the PNM.

Mr Ture was banned from Trinidad and Tobago in 1970 by a black-led government which feared he would further the islands' own "Black Power" revolt

What's the benefit of this though?

[maj. tom]

when you take the US oath, you're required to give up all other citizenships.

Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America
Oath

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

when you take the US oath, you're required to give up all other citizenships.

For what reason though would a person have to take this oath and for what benefit is it to the individual?

Is this a requirement to get US residency, citizenship or something?

[maj. tom]

well... yeah. It says so right there "Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America"

Why? That's what the US government requires of their citizens. In case of war and drafting I expect.

Dual Nationality is a different thing.

[chippy]

I once renounced my Throne. I Am No Longer The Prince Of Zamunda.

[Gem_in_i]

US dont recognise dual citizenship. As you see with the oath. But many people keep both T&T and US passport and citizenship and tht is not an issue.
In certain cases the US will require you to legally renounce citizenship from another country. Or some people willingly do it on their own.
Today I found out tht more people than I thought have or are going through the renunciation process.
