Nalin Haley, 24 and son of former presidential candidate Nikki Haley, told Fox News Digital he wants the U.S. to end dual citizenship and bar naturalized citizens from holding public office, arguing that elected officials must show undivided loyalty. He also said Americans should not serve in foreign militaries, calling it a conflict of interest. Haley predicted Gen Z will move away from "wokeness" as many young people return to faith and traditional values, and urged peers to speak up about their priorities.
Nalin Haley: "If You Can't Choose Your Loyalty, This Isn't The Country For You" — Calls To End Dual Citizenship
Nalin Haley, the son of former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, says it’s time to end dual citizenship and prioritize Americans first.
Nalin Haley, 24, the son of former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, told Fox News Digital he supports ending dual citizenship and believes naturalized citizens should be barred from holding public office.
A Villanova University graduate who now works in finance, Haley is also chair of the Tri-County Republicans, a Young Republicans group serving York, Lancaster and Chester counties in South Carolina. In the interview, he argued that public officials must hold undivided loyalty to the United States.
Haley recently turned 24, is a graduate of Villanova University and works in finance.
"We need to end dual citizenship, regardless of who it is, and only people born in this country who have been citizens of this country should be able to hold public office," Haley told Fox News Digital. "No naturalized citizens."
Haley said the principle should apply especially to officeholders. "In this position, you have to give it everything you've got. You have to have loyalty to one country," he said, calling dual loyalty incompatible with public service.
He also voiced opposition to Americans serving in foreign militaries, describing such service as a conflict of interest similar to holding dual citizenship. "You should not be able to serve in a foreign country's military. That's disqualifying," Haley said.
For Haley, ending dual citizenship isn’t an extreme idea but something he sees as common sense.
Views on Gen Z and Culture
Beyond citizenship issues, Haley discussed cultural trends among younger voters. He predicted a shift among Gen Z away from what he described as "wokeness," which he attributes in part to a resurgence of faith and traditional values among his peers.
"I think Gen Z is gonna reject wokeness mainly because we grew up with it and I think we're tired of it," he said, adding that many young people are returning to faith and tradition. "We're sort of reverting to tradition into something that is timeless and has always stood the test of time."
Haley's message to his generation is to be vocal about the issues they care about.
Haley urged young people to be vocal about their priorities: "Use your voice. Learn how to use your voice and speak out, because no one's gonna be able to identify the problems if they don't know what's going on."
This interview reflects Haley's personal views and political activism at the local level. His positions touch on broader national debates about citizenship, public-service eligibility and cultural shifts among younger generations.
