Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

Gallup Poll says Hispanics Frown on Trump....but are kissing-up to mamasita Hillary.

Poor Jeb, all that sucking up to the Latinos and he gets no love.

And their immigration laws as well. As I understand it, if a woman from the US has a baby in Mexico, the baby is NOT automatically granted Mexican citizenship. Also if you overstay your Visa in Mexico you are fined $70 per DAY. How long do Mexicans overstay their Visa in the US? Years and years. Can’t say I ever heard of one paying a fine. Plus if you sneak into Mexico you get arrested and if you make a wrong turn into Mexico and happen to have a gun, you got to jail for a year like Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi. Why doesn’t Trump talk about that?

Kicking out Ramos is not enough. Investigations need to commence. Americans demand to know:

<><> how many violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt Ramos belongs to;

<><>how many US govt checks Ramos, his family, his staff are collecting;

<><>how many SS nos Ramos, his family and his staff have;

<><>how many identities Ramos has;

<><> how many times Ramos has traveled to foreign countries;

<><> whether Ramos, his family, his staff are registered agents for foreign governments.

[Moonman62]

Ramos is a disgusting human being. We don’t want him regardless of his ethnicity. He’s lily white like most racist Mexicans.

[Dqban22]

He should live where his heart is... but in Mexico he will be a nobody or would be dead is Ramos dare to be an anti-drug cartel activist or an advocate of the people against the corrupt political mafia always in power.

We need amnesty for EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN who has ever been convicted of BREAKING AND ENTERING!!!!

[Mark17]

Same here. This is beyond the pale.

Everytime I see that nerd on TV, my blood pressure goes up, and I want to throw pitchforks at the TV.

[GraceG]

If Mexico is so wonderful, why did he leave?

[Pelham]

“If Mexico is so wonderful, why did he leave? “

Conquering armies always leave home behind.

Dual citizenship used to be illegal in the USA. Dual citizenship needs to be made illegal here again.

[Bigg Red]

Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if a bunch of squatters took up residence in Jorge’s house, which I am sure is quite posh? They could just declare themselves undocumented residents of his place.

[Paine in the Neck]

Ramos needs to be disambiguated.

[Vic S]

If he loves his country (Mexico) so much he should fight corruption and the drug mafias over there.

But, then again, he wouldn’t make many pesos and would be killed for doing that.

[T-Bone Texan]

Whore-hay needs to be repatriated.

Via trebuchet.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Isn’t duel citizenship technically illegal? Has he just admitted to a crime?

[Fiddlstix]

IF Mexico is so damn great then why are you here, whorehey???

[ConservativeInPA]

The worst thing about America, of course, is the racist and xenophobic attitudes that tend to emerge now and then 

And this is a bad thing? Sorry Whorehey, those are qualities that once kept America American. Throughout the late 19th century and a good part of the 20th century xenophobes and racists pressured immigrants to assimilate into American culture when immigrants were not properly motivated.

Today we bend over backwards to accommodate foreign languages and the worse parts of immigrant cultures.

I scratch my head wondering how my mother speaks our language perfectly and is 100% American to the core when she grew up surrounded by immigrant Finns, Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians with few parents fluent in English and no English as a Second language programs in schools. Actually, I don't scratch my head. Those immigrants wanted to be American.

Section 101(a)(22) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) states that “the term ‘national of the United States’ means (A) a citizen of the United States, or (B) a person who, though not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States.” Therefore, U.S. citizens are also U.S. nationals. Non-citizen nationality status refers only individuals who were born either in American Samoa or on Swains Island to parents who are not citizens of the United States. The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a national of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own nationality laws based on its own policy. Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. national parents may be both a U.S. national and a national of the country of birth.

A U.S. national may acquire foreign nationality by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. national may not lose the nationality of the country of birth. U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one nationality or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another nationality does not risk losing U.S. nationality. However, a person who acquires a foreign nationality by applying for it may lose U.S. nationality. In order to lose U.S. nationality, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign nationality voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. nationality.

Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct. The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. nationals may conflict with U.S. law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government efforts to assist nationals abroad. The country where a dual national is located generally has a stronger claim to that person's allegiance.

However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there. Most U.S. nationals, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. nationality. Most countries permit a person to renounce or otherwise lose nationality.

Information on losing foreign nationality can be obtained from the foreign country's embassy and consulates in the United States. Americans can renounce U.S. nationality in the proper form at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.
