Is it necessarily a problem that any one individual senator has dual citizenship? No, probably not.

If 13% of your entire Senate has dual citizenship in the *same* other country so far out of proportion to the size of that country or the representation of dual citizenship with that country in the general population it defies belief... sorry, that's indicating something has gone wrong somewhere. There is something systematic making that happen and you should care what that is.
