If you were the government, how would you build an accurate database of all dual citizens?I ask because I believe that citizens with only the nation's citizenship should be allowed to vote and run for office. So many problems would be resolved if this was enacted. However implementing this first requires knowing which citizens hold multiple passports. Getting this data is an issue because only the person and the nation which offered citizenship would reliably know. For example, pic related is Chuck Schumer. He is an American citizen but he could also be an Israeli citizen. The US government would not be able to know for sure and would have to rely on voluntary truth, searching his property for documention or getting the information from the Israeli government. All of which have their challenges.
That database already exists. Secure Flight has access to passport data
>>533901417Thats only capturing passports when used though. Someone could have citizenship from another country but only ever use their American passport to enter the country.I know they are supposed to "voluntarily" declare which nation's they are citizens of but what if they don't. How can we get that information?
Is it just me or every other "invasive new data grab from the government" in USA just stuff that competent and organized governments should already have been doing well over 20 years ago with some basic online connectivity between databases?>soon the government will be able to track exactly who is on government disability payments!>your health records could be being sent to multiple doctors!>TSA will be able to see if you have a criminal record soon!>they say the IRS is gonna monitor your taxed income now!>we are at serious risk of the government knowing information about voters if we are not careful!Like I get that the government are bad guys but this stuff is catastrophically bad organizational problems being fixed. Like obviously a cop shouldn't be given your Social Security or whatever but central medical records between healthcare providers is just how a robust medical system should operate.
That's Charles "Big Chuck" Schumer, American patriot
