The IRS and State Department (who issues Visas) are well aware of the hack you are describing and the system is already setup to prevent people from doing that.

I was an expat for close to 7 years, have friends who renounced and thought long and hard about doing so myself. I can say with great conviction that long term, in my educated opinion, it isn't worth it.
