“..the (US) State Department interim rule just raised the fee for renunciation of U.S. citizenship to $2,350 from $450”
Gradually building a Berlin Wall made of paper? Well, some people say that this is a human-rights violation:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality”, while the Expatriation Act of 1868 says that renunciation of citizenship is “a natural and inherent right of all people” and that “any declaration, instruction, opinion, order, or decision of any officers of this government which restricts, impairs, or questions the right of expatriation, is hereby declared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of this government”.
Even UN universal declarations of human rights have a shelf life under Obama.
