Arlington is full of people who gave up a lot more than a few bucks for their country. Running out to save a fraction of income just doesn't seen right to me.

No.
And most don't.
Somebody who voluntarily renounced their US citizenship will in almost all cases never get a visitor's visa to the United States again, and getting an immigrant visa is expressly excluded anyway.
There's only a few people who have become citizens of a VWP country, who get ESTA clearance and be admitted by CBP, but it's really a tiny fraction only.
Final words of wisdom: it's against US law to renounce US citizenship in order to escape taxation. It's only allowed in cases where naturalizing in another country requires renunciation.

It's a myth that Americans give up citizenship to "save on taxes." They don't save a penny. In fact, with the exit tax at 42% of worldwide assets, most pay dearly to renounce US citizenship. E.g. Eduardo Savarin paid over $300 million in taxes, about 100 years or more of income taxes! But Singapore does not allow dual-nationality, so he was forced to renounce US citizenship, and his Brazilian citizenship, too (he was Brazilian citizen, born & raised).
Most of those who renounce are "accidents" of birth - their foreign parents gave birth in the US, but took their baby back home with them when they finished school or their employment visa, or even their vacation! More choose to leave because they marry someone from another country, get citizenship there & live there. Some are returning to their homelands. Some need to work abroad for lack of jobs in the US & need citizenship.
Don't believe the political crapola dished out! Top 2 groups of US tax evaders: illegal aliens & immigrants, and Washington, DC federal employees (especially political appointees).
Always get accurate data from researchers & disinterested parties before spouting off any rant based on bogus propaganda.

Maybe we can make them take some of the 11-12 million illegal aliens out with them, that way we can tell them they can't bring in perishable item when they try to come back
?
Depends on where they get their new citizenship as the US allows some countries passport holders to enter on just pasdport without visa

in order to avoid the IRS, they have to stay out of the country for three continuous years, or so I'm told. After that, they'll be like any other foreigner -- welcome to visit and spend money, but not welcome to work here.
in order to help this work, we need to cancel their SS number after they leave.
