Dual nationality is not without problems. Citizenship normally implies allegiance to only one country, so dual citizens may face conflicts of loyalty. They may also be subject to multiple or inconsistent obligations, such as owing military service or taxes to more than one country. Diplomatic conflicts can arise if a dual citizen claims the protection of one country of citizenship when he or she faces legal difficulties in the other country. Foreign governments might be able to affect U.S. policies - at least inadvertantly - through the votes of their dual nationals. Hence, the U.S. government, although recognizing that it exists, officially discourages dual nationality. www1.umn.edu/humanrts/immigrationlaw/chapter12.html
