TINA TURNER
GOODBYE AMERICA
I'm Gonna Be a Swiss Citizen
William Tell may no longer be the most famous Swiss person in history ... 'cause Tina Turner says she's renouncing her U.S. citizenship to become a full-fledged citizen of Switzerland.
Turner -- who was born in Nutbush, Tennessee -- has been living in Zurich since the mid-90s ... and according to multiple reports, she's decided to make Switzerland her permanent home.
According to a local Swiss newspaper, officials in Switzerland have already decided to GRANT Turner's request for citizenship ... and now it's only a matter of time before the move becomes official.
We called Turner's rep for comment -- who told us she was still trying to get in touch with Tina to clarify the situation.
Also ... yeah, William Tell was Swiss. The more you know ...

Why? America was the promised land-the land of the immigrants. If it becomes tough and there are other attractive options, why should Americans not emigrate?

You don't have to be a citizen to do that.

Highly paid musicians, actors and sports athletes are not productive people nor job creators.
Just expensive.

Given the hoops they will have to jump through to become citizens, it may be more beneficial for them to remain 'illegal'....as long as 'employer green card checking and big fines' thing isn't enforced....
