Should immigrants be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?

Should immigrants to the United Kingdom be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?

Dual citizenship (also known as dual nationality) is allowed in the UK. This means you can be a British citizen and also a citizen of other countries. You do not need to apply for dual citizenship. You can apply for foreign citizenship and keep your British citizenship.
