I don't mean native Americans - I mean the residents of any country who also hold some other passport/citizenship.

> By your standard, it should be wrong for people to have one at all

By "having a passport" I mean eligibility for a passport aka citizenship, not literally whether you've applied for one. Equal opportunity should exist - whether it is taken advantage or not is another matter.

> It's a matter of a person's choosing to meet the requirements to obtain one or not

How does one choose hereditary requirements? Or capital requirements (aka golden pass)?

> your argument was one escaping to another jurisdiction

Maybe there are similar issues between state jurisdictions, but I talked specifically of national/country jurisdictions which aren't really similar; especially wrt tax.

In any case, I think the point is moot since all US citizens are (equally) fairly free to cross state lines. The point isn't that it's unfair to move to another jurisdiction with another as fall-back, but that not all are equally able to do this - which is true of states.
