(58,785 posts)considered giving up the protections of her Danish citizenship, for herself and her children, for love of both heritages and because of all the differences you describe, and more, when she visits relatives in Denmark.
Fortunately, now for the first time she can get dual citizenship, which she is doing, but I've recommended she carefully do everything required to retain her citizenship rights under Danish law now that she is accepting U.S. citizenship and lives here. What the laws of nations can confer, they can also take away.
Because of the the destabilizing effects of climate change alone, in future many more mass population migrations will be occurring. Today's are just the beginning, and I believe protective reactions in many places are inevitable. I even imagine I am hearing the sound of doors slamming in the future... She doesn't believe it could happen, but unlikely as it is, some of those migrations could conceivably be from hard-hit regions of the U.S. in decades to come if heat, drought and fresh water scarity continued to increase and economic decline set in.
