I’ll ask again why the State Department hasn’t issued a statement supporting efforts by Iraqis in the United States to vote in this month’s election, but making clear that American citizens have no business participating in another country’s political process. Not only are naturalized American citizens born in Iraq eligible to vote, but even native-born Americans with a father born in Iraq, a fact approvingly cited just last week by a State Department official. If we’re going to permit unfettered dual citizenship, as we now do, Congress ought to vote on it, not simply allow it to happen in increments.
