What do the following all have in common?
Ilhan Omar
Pramila Jayapal
Zohran Mamdani
Rashida Tlaib
They're all foreign born and they all hate America.
In the past immigrants came to this country with only the promise of opportunity. They were not promised economic support, SNAP or food stamps. They toiled long and hard. They assimilated into the American fabric. My parents were part of that.
Now an alarming trend is ongoing. It is the election of foreign born to government. Foreigners are coming here solely for the freedom and the economic support. Worse, they refuse to assimilate. Some, as seen in Dearborn, seek to remake the country in the structure of where they came from but taking advantage of the freedom and acceptance here.
They have no intention to assimilate. There is no loyalty to America and many come right out and say it.
Ilhan Omar claims she longs to return to Somalia

Her admitted loyalty is to Somalia

Another Somali, this one a state rep from Maine, has only Somalia as her concern:

Yet another Somali in the Maine state House is totally ungrateful:
Somali-born Maine State Representative, Mana Abdi, expresses her disdain for America:
“Everything from the snow to the housing just kept getting worse. And they sent us to Kansas of all places…”

And then there's the case of Omar Fateh who is running for Mayor of Minneapolis. He was born in the US but refers to Somalia as "home." In a rally he waves the Somali flag and pledges his allegiance to Somalia.

Not long ago he suggested his white colleagues on Minnesota Senate floor were terrorists.
Flashback to when Sen. Omar Fateh claimed the real terrorists looked like his white Republican colleagues on the Minnesota Senate floor. An ethics complaint was later filed against him for violating the Senate’s code of conduct. pic.twitter.com/Nm2JD8KqJg

Picking up on the pattern here yet?
When Rashida Tlaib was first elected, she draped herself in a Palestinian flag. Since then she has gotten shrill and unendingly vulgar. Here she makes clear the plan:

The the Dual Citizenship Disclosure Act (H.R. 7484) introduced by rep. Tim Burchett has not passed and was only introduced in the 118th Congress.
While the bill passed the House in July 2024, it has not been enacted into law and must go through the full legislative process, which would include passage in the Senate and signing by the President.
I’m thinking its chances in the senate (referencing current events) are Slim and none, with Slim having left town.
If you open the door to one group with possibly divided loyalties, you open it to all groups.

American-Americans
Israel is extremely strict about immigration, something most of us would like to see here.
What is probably the confusion here is that Israel is extremely LENIENT on immigration by Jews from anywhere. I quite suspect that any of the Jewish Congresscriters would be ALLOWED by Israel to immigrate in. It’s quite favorably known as “Making Aliya”, and it’s a huge deal. These congresscritters would probably be welcomed with open arms in Israel and could choose to become Israeli citizens, just like any proper Jew in the world (this poster being quite separately disallowed).
To my knowledge, none of these congresscritters have made Aliyah. The could, but haven’t.
That’s probably the confusion.
LOL!
JINOs.
Catholics, for example?
So you agree with my facts?
Standing by for your answers to my #25 and #26.
Well?
I don’t use the term “dual-citizen”, I call them “half-citizens”. I don’t care if it’s Mexico, China, Israel, Ukraine, the Brits, Pakis, Polacks, Indians.... you name it.
There are wayyyy too many foreign loyal people in our government.
We shouldn’t allow dual citizenship. And we doubly shouldn’t allow it in political or government office at all.
We shouldn’t allow dual citizenship. And we doubly shouldn’t allow it in political or government office at all.
Nothing?
Well, I’m happy to have straightened out that factual difficulty you were having, and noting that many people’s religions inform their politics.
Have a nice day!
I agree. What is the current rule? I’m going to go look it up …
Happily, dual citizen Congresscritters are already disallowed:
Q: Is it legal for a U.S. congressperson to hold dual citizenship, say both U.S. and British, at the same time and still be elected and serve in the U.S. Congress?
Grok:
“ No, it is not legal for a U.S. congressperson to hold dual citizenship (e.g., U.S. and British) while serving in Congress, due to a constitutional prohibition on holding titles of nobility or foreign office. However, dual citizenship is not an automatic disqualifier for election—the issue arises only if the person formally accepts or retains foreign citizenship in a way that conflicts with U.S. law after taking office. Below is a step-by-step breakdown based on the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and historical practice.
1. Eligibility to Be Elected (Qualifications for Office)
The Constitution sets minimum requirements in Article I:
• House: U.S. citizen for 7 years, age 25+, inhabitant of the state represented (Art. I, §2).
• Senate: U.S. citizen for 9 years, age 30+, inhabitant of the state represented (Art. I, §3).
There is no explicit ban on dual citizenship in these clauses. A naturalized U.S. citizen who retains citizenship in another country (e.g., UK) can meet the 7- or 9-year U.S. citizenship threshold and run for office. Courts and Congress have never interpreted these clauses to require renunciation of foreign citizenship.
Holding formal citizenship in a foreign monarchy (like the UK) has been interpreted by the Justice Department and Congress as accepting a “Title” or “Office” from a foreign state—specifically, the status of “subject” to the British Crown.
• This triggers the clause only after taking office (“Person holding any Office”).
• Congress has never consented to a member retaining citizenship in a foreign monarchy.
Etc….
Waiting for your demonstration of my false statement or your retraction.
“If you open the door to one group with possibly divided loyalties, you open it to all groups.”
What if a Ukrainian- or Russian-American whose family has been in the U.S. for three or four generations and holds only U.S. citizenship has an opinion on the conflict there, should they be allowed to serve in Congress and have their historic, familial and religious views inform their votes?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Without checking each name I’ve spotted 10 who aren’t representatives anymore. A very outdated list.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES [27]
Gary Ackerman (D-NY) Shelley Berkley (D-NV) Howard Berman (D-CA) Eric Cantor (R-VA) David Cicilline (D-RI) Stephen Cohen (D-TN) Susan Davis (D-CA) Ted Deutch (D-FL) Eliot Engel (D-NY) Bob Filner (D-CA) Barney Frank (D-MA) Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) Jane Harman (D-CA) Steve Israel (D-NY) Sander Levin (D-MI) Nita Lowey (D-NY) Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) Jared Polis (D-CO) Steve Rothman (D-NJ) Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) Adam Schiff (D-CA) Brad Sherman (D-CA) Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) Henry Waxman (D-CA) Anthony Weiner (D-NY) John Yarmuth (D-KY)
We’ve got a slew of dual citizens in Congress.
Interestingly, there have been dual citizens:
Grok:
“ Overview
Yes, there have been U.S. congresspersons who were sworn in and served in Congress while holding dual nationality (U.S. citizenship plus citizenship in another country). The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly prohibit dual citizenship for members of Congress—only requiring 7 years of U.S. citizenship for House members and 9 years for Senators (Article I, Sections 2 and 3). Dual nationality is common among foreign-born members or their descendants, and the Congressional Research Service (CRS) tracks demographics like foreign births but not dual status, as it is not a disqualifier. However, the Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8) could theoretically apply if foreign citizenship is seen as accepting a “title” or “office” from a foreign state without congressional consent, though this has never been enforced against dual citizens serving in Congress.
Recent legislative efforts, like the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act (H.R. 946, 2023) and the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act (2025), aim to require disclosure or ban dual citizens from serving, reflecting growing concerns over potential conflicts of interest. But no such ban exists today, and historical examples confirm dual nationals have served without issue.
Key Examples
Here are verified cases of congresspersons who held dual nationality while sworn in and actively serving. These are drawn from biographical records, news reports, and official statements. Note: Many renounced foreign citizenship later (often for political reasons), but the question focuses on while serving.”
After which, Grok’s formatting breaks down. But example exist from Switzerland (Bachman), Canada (Cruz), Japan, Thai and Indian. Omar is probably also Somalian. Note the one country not on the list …
Nonetheless, I’m totally with you. Let’s pass a law to outlaw dual citizens holding elected office anywhere in America.
Yes, but none of the 89 on your list. See immediately above.
