You can’t have fidelity if you also have infidelity one cancels out the other.
Are Dual / Citizenship / Passports for the most part a political scam and most especially if there is no reciprocal agreement in place. For instance lets take as an example of what India says about its own take on Dual Passports in relation to Sovereignty and Loyalty.
Sovereignty and Loyalty: From Google AI
“The Indian government believes that dual citizenship could create legal complexities, particularly when it comes to issues of loyalty and national allegiance. By requiring individuals to choose one nationality, India ensures that its citizens are solely loyal to the country and its interests”. 31 Dec 2024
So here you a Government stating it will not give out Dual Passports in India. However, what is being stated there is not true when it comes to person getting Dual Passport with some other country “By requiring individuals to choose one nationality, India ensures that its citizens are solely loyal to the country and its interests” because they will allow its own Indian citizens to swear a pledge of fidelity to another country to get a Dual Passport as is the case here in Ireland. We have people from India and not just India claiming naturalisation and citizenship here and getting Dual Passports.
In comparison and if that statement is true, an Irish person cannot get Dual Passport in Indian if they do not give out Dual Passports. So why would our Irish Government allow a country with a population of 1.45 Billion people get passports in Ireland.
So India doesn’t ensures that its citizens are solely loyal to the country and its interests if they allow an Indian citizen to be naturalised and receive a passport in another country.
According to that statement an Indian person can not have two passports.
Then you have the case of no reciprocal Dual Passport for Irish citizens which makes a complete mockery of the whole thing.
But by swearing a pledge of fidelity to a country other than your own, are you in fact committing infidelity to your country of birth. It is not possible to naturalised in two countries. So do the Indian people who have naturalised and got citizenship and passport in Ireland lose their Indian Passport?
During an Irish citizenship ceremony, new citizens are required to make a “declaration of loyalty to Ireland”. This declaration includes a “pledge of fidelity” to the Irish nation and loyalty to the State, as well as a commitment to observing the laws and respecting the democratic values of Ireland.
So how can a person by receiving a passport in its country of birth swear a deceleration of loyalty and a pledge of Fidelity and then swear fidelity to another country which in fact would be infidelity to the country of origin?
Isn’t this similar to swearing lies on an affidavit or infidelity in a marriage.
.
So how can swearing fidelity and infidelity at the same time be legal in relation to loyalty and national allegiance to a country?
Therefore, in my opinion, there is no legal basis for Dual Passports. There may be a system put in place to grant travel or restricted residence but you cannot swear allegiance to two different countries or be a naturalised citizen of both. Anyone who has received a Dual Passport should have them revoked.
A dual passport should not have the same value as a passport of native person of a country.
People who receive these Irish passports now have free reign to travel all over Euro the same as an Irish citizen.
It is a fact that the Irish people never authorized giving out these Dual Passports and, in my opinion, our Government had no authority to issue them without a referendum on the matter.
