Superman Renounces U.S. Citizenship

Superman consults with the President's national security advisor, who is incensed that Superman appeared in Tehran to non-violently support the protesters demonstrating against the Iranian regime, no doubt an analogue for the recent real-life protests in the Middle East. However, since Superman is viewed as an American icon in the DC Universe as well as our own, the Iranian government has construed his actions as the will of the American President, and indeed, an act of war. Superman replies that it was foolish to think that his actions would not reflect politically on the American government, and that he therefore plans to renounce his American citizenship at the United Nations the next day -- and to continue working as a superhero from a more global than national perspective.

fellow Krypton citizens who have tried to travel/emigrate to the US recently, have been treated harshly by the humorless and dour US immigration officials (many of whom look like they 1st or 2nd generation immigrants themselves)?
