Donna-Lane Nelson was so upset after giving up her U.S. citizenship that she threw up. “Like the day I was divorced, this was one of the saddest of my life,” Nelson wrote of the day in 2011 her paper work to renounce U.S. citizenship was approved. In 2011, Nelson was one of nearly 2,000 Americans to give up their citizenship. Last year, a record 4,279 people gave up their American citizenship, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. This year, the Google search “How to move to Canada?” surged as businessman Donald Trump won seven of 11 Republican contests on Super Tuesday.

Peter Spiro is a Temple University law professor. He is not sure if those who oppose Donald Trump would consider leaving the U.S. “Trump, if he wins, may be president for only four years (eight years if he wins a second term) and giving up your citizenship cannot be reversed,” Spiro said. Most of those giving up their U.S. citizenship do so for tax reasons. The surge, Spiro said, is due to a 2010 law to increase enforcement of an existing law requiring U.S. citizens to pay taxes on worldwide income, not just money earned in the United States.
