Laurence Brown normally brings us humorous observations about the differences between Britain and the US in his Lost in the Pond series. Born in England, he's lived in the US for about 14 years now with his American wife. In this video, he takes us through the process of becoming an American citizen as he experienced it, in his wry and self-deprecating manner. The real excitement is when he confronts the citizenship test, when he panicked and forgot everything he learned! Somehow he managed to pull it together just enough to become a dual citizen with the right to vote. Congratulations, Laurence!
I could never understand the dual citizenship thing. England shouldn't be a problem but I met a man who had dual citizenship with the US and Turkey. I've also read of people with dual citizenship with the US and Russia. What if we go to war with Turkey or Russia, where does their allegiance lie. Seems this dual status brings up "fer us or agin us".
