If dual citizenship is permitted, people (dual citizens) will commit crimes and run away to America and other places, where they are equally citizens. If dual citizenship is permitted, people (dual citizens) will dominate our body politics, economics and everything in Liberia will be run from abroad. The argument for dual citizenship or non-Negro citizenship is not to say that Liberia should not have restrictions on citizenship, only that same must not be based on race or other spurious reasons. What is clearly unacceptable is the current situation of an outright constitutional and statutory ban on dual citizenship and non-negro citizenship. That’s why I’m in favor of changing our laws to permit both dual citizenship and non-negroes citizenship.
