Dual citizenship: A privilege or a dangerous illusion?
Dual citizenship is facing increased scrutiny as its "glamour is rapidly fading" in today's world. The article states that dual citizens "may suddenly discover that they belong nowhere completely" when political crises erupt. The immigration crackdown under Donald Trump in the United States and xenophobic attacks in South Africa serve as warnings about the "hidden dangers behind dual citizenship."
The article mentions that under Donald Trump's immigration policies, the United States witnessed "one of the toughest immigration crackdowns in modern history." This included travel bans, deportation threats, and aggressive border enforcement. South Africa has "repeatedly witnessed violent xenophobic attacks" against migrants from countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Somalia, and Ethiopia. During conflict or political unrest, "both countries may hesitate to fully accept responsibility for that person's protection."
The article suggests that the modern world is becoming "increasingly hostile toward migration." Nationalist politics are rising in Europe, North America, and parts of Africa.
