In fairness ms... there is plenty good reason why anyone may not want to fall under US law. Again - there is good reason, mainly on a personal basis why anyone should not give up citizenship, plus, as you mentioned, if there is family or a need to return to the US it's obviously useful.

There is more to the story than claims the US can arrest a non-citizen and that will end up an "incident" within six months. Bottom line, the US has no rights outside their jurisdiction.

Any EU passport gives access to most countries - no problemo - including the US.
