A growing number of Americans are looking at dual citizenship as a fallback plan in times of widespread uncertainty and deepening political divisions, with young people leading the change.
A recent survey conducted by Harris Poll found that four in ten U.S. adults (42 percent) have considered or plan to relocate outside the country to improve their quality of life or financial position. Among Gen Zers, this number went up to 63 percent, while 52 percent of millennials were considering moving abroad.
"For most of modern history, the American Dream was rooted in one place: America. But that's shifting," Tim Osieki, director of thought leadership and trends at The Harris Poll, told Newsweek.
"While dual citizenship used to be reserved for retirees, the wealthy, or those with strong family ties abroad, it's now a growing goal for middle-class Americans who want more control over their future," he said. "It marks a real mindset shift—less about pledging allegiance to one nation, more about staying agile in a world that feels increasingly unstable."
The American dream, which has fueled migration to the U.S. for the past century and more, was built on the idea that the U.S. was a land of opportunity offering freedom, financial stability, upward mobility, and personal success, as long as you were willing to work for it.
For many ordinary Americans, especially younger ones, that dream has died. It has been killed by the near impossibility of buying a home in the current market and the economic challenges that force them to scramble to keep up with the cost of living and delay their plans to form their own families.
The growing interest toward getting dual citizenship, proved by data shared by attorneys and firms helping customers obtain a second passport, shows that many Americans now believe that other...

I have EU citizenship rights but I don’t have the slightest interest in becoming a dual citizen. I am an American and that’s all I’ll ever be.
They should be required to pick one. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
The Democrat dream is to Balkanize America and capitalize on the chaos that results.
Have you noticed all the “American” hostages and others recently who look nothing like Americans and have Scrabble names calling upon Uncle Sam to pull their chestnuts out of whatever fire they managed to inject themselves into, because it wasn’t America but some 3\rd world s*** hole that spawned them but still lures them like moths to the flame?
Laura Bush
Can one take an oath of allegiance to more than one country?? I think not!
This article has exactly the WRONG focus.
A midwestern guy from Ohio with an Irish passport because his great-grandmother was from there is not the point.
Rather, the guy from China or Lagos, who obtained US citizenship, but works and invests in China or Africa, has become both a financial burden on the USA due to the welfare state, but also a strategic threat. They can take everything they know from the USA back to their countries, whole also remaining as a woke-globalist fifth column in the USA
This article was totally made up and has no basis in fact. Sure there may be a few people who think duel citizen ship is cool but the vast majority of Americans count their blessings that they were born here.
I’d think about relocating to a place that has cheaper housing and cost of living. I just don’t think Haiti is the place for me though.
My daughter has dual citizenship based on her mom and I having different nationalities. No oath of allegiance was required, it was based on where she was born and her parents nationality.
I saw a case where a baby has tri-citizenship because his dad had dual status. I personally saw all 3 passports.
“I am an American and that’s all I’ll ever be.”
Yes, but how many more Biden type democrat administratioons can we take?
Yeah, but they never actually go.
And this is saying they’ll go but still vote to keep things messed up for those that live here.
More proof that “diversity is our strength.” /s
I couldn’t agree more!
Its hilarious to me they discuss moving to Western European countries because people are worried about stability, cost of living, etc. Its clear these people have never lived or traveled much in those countries. I have. Western Europe is not the place it was 40 years ago or even 30 years ago. There’s been a flood of violent, mostly Muslim though other 3rd world military age males that has arrived and is living on public benefits, committing crimes and generally acting like they own the place.
As for rights.....where on earth are you going to go where you would have more rights than the US? Nowhere are freedom of speech or the right to keep and bear arms protected like in America. Your 5th amendment right against self incrimination? You can kiss that goodbye too. Nobody else has that either.
"Camp of the Saints" wasn't fiction after all.
In all fairness, many SHTF’ers are of a mind that while they want to earn, live, pay taxes, and otherwise remain American, that they would have some place outside of the US, to “flee” to, in case things got really batty.
Clinton, Obama, and Biden were good motivations for this. But then again, so was G.W. Bush.
Globalists, Neocons, Corporationists, etc. are other good reasons.
Think of it as insurance.
All three of my kids are duals. They’ve only ever lived in America.
