I used to spend weekends by the lake with my girl friend. The only spoiler was the empty Molson and LaBatte beer cans left on the beach by the French-Canadian visitors

I'd recommend getting your citizenship as soon as you become eligible for it, but I heard of a local man (a doctor) who was returning here from Iran, with a US Passport, who was detained at O'Hare.

Obviously US citizens have a right to enter the USA but doesn't mean you will just be waved through.

The fact that the source of the 9/11 attackers, Saudi Arabia, wasn't on this list exposes it for the bullshit propaganda, posturing and excuse for profiling that it is.

A Kiwi mate got detained at the airport and told off for being a dual US citizen and that this will be a "warning", whatever that meant...but a few hours were wasted being questioned for reason of trip.

Re: yep it's already started!
Just when I was planing on getting citizenship, I dont want it, dont want to be a citizen under this administration. Pragmatism might win out but not in the emotional mind frame right now to consider it.

Re: yep it's already started!
This is a bit concerning. I wonder if this what the 1930s in Europe felt like. There is a lot of bad feelings on both sides. I hope the tension doesn't escalate too much.

Out of interest, how did they know? Presumably s/he used their US passport to enter the US - were they questioned about citizenship status, or was it because they used the NZ passport at the other end?
