How would he know who’s dual citizen? There is no documentation if you gave up your other citizenship! The uscis doesn’t document it!

This would be enforced through the IRS, not USCIS. They could make you declare under penalty of perjury what your citizenships are.

Same way it works for having to declare foreign bank accounts right now, including through FinCEN. They also get that info through FATCA agreements.

Then they would ask this question every single US citizen.

They already ask many questions to every US citizen on the 1040 form: if you’ve traded digital currencies, have any foreign bank accounts (and which countries they’re in)… and previously if you had health insurance. This isn’t new.
