What Dominicans have been doing for decades now could pick up steam in the US. The Wall Street Journal publishes an article in its 15 June issue encouraging Americans to do as Dominicans and pick up dual citizenship, based on their ancestry. The Wall Street Journal mentions that the DR is one of a number of countries (others mentioned are Mexico, Australia and India) that have legalized multiple citizenship. It highlights the fact that citizens of the DR can register and vote from the US.
The WSJ reports that the benefits of another citizenship can be significant. It quotes Peter Spiro, a professor of international law at Temple University's law school mentioning these include expanded opportunities to work or retire overseas.
