I do not understand one of your stmts....
Why would a border guard hassle someone traveling on a non US passport if they show them their US passport It is not like the guard will see the other one where I assume the other travel is booked....
OR... the US citizen is trying to get into the US with their Canadian passport... and get hassled Well, just do not show that to them... and if they are hassling, what do you think will happen when the person give up their citizenship
I think this is probably the news story that Brett is referring to:
Many U.S. citizens in Canada are heading for the exits — but it could cost them | Financial Post
It's worth noting that some Canadians born in Canada are designated US citizens by virtue of the fact that they have a US parent. (Example: Ted Cruz, who was born in Calgary). Unlike Mr. Cruz, they may think of themselves as Canadian, never have lived in the US and never had a US passport. Yet they are still pulled in by Uncle Sam's tax net.
When Mr. Cruz recently renounced his Canadian citizenship for political reasons, he was not subject to any taxes in Canada.
