Someone said they were ‘pro-illegals’ because they are a “cheaper, faster, and stronger work force”. But if you check back in history when slaves were not considered citizens they worked their butts off because it was survival(you don’t work, they kill you).

The Government of India has not given permission for Dual Citizenship yet! That means an Indian resident can not hold the citizenship of the native country and a foreign country at the same time. In addition, the Indian Nationality Law allows OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India). But it should not be referred to as Dual Citizenship.
If you get an OCI, you should not control yourself as being as a regular Indian Citizen. Further, you are not allowed to vote and/or can not hold your claim as a participant of Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha/Legislative Assembly/Council and are barred from holding employment in the Government sector.
