No Presidential Address to New American Citizens?
4/29/2013 | Nikos1121

Can someone please corroborate my story?

I took a friend this morning for her American citizenship swearing-in ceremony in Atlanta, GA.

She's been a kindergarten teacher for many years working LEGALLY with a green card.

Last November she applied for American citizenship and passed her examination and interview.

Today, she, ALONG WITH ABOUT FIFTY OTHERS, swore their allegiance to the United States and officially awarded a certificate of citizenship and a little American Flag and ushered out the door.

Our president, Joe Biden, did not address these new Americans in any WRITTEN OR PRERECORDED presentation.

I've checked into this, new Americans watched a formal congratulatory presentation by Clinton, George Bush, Obama and of course Trump. In fact, Trump routinely invited a number of them on serveal occations to be sworn in at the White House.

CAN MY FELLOWMEN AND WOMEN ON THIS FORUM PLEASE CORROBORATE IF THIS IS TRUE? AND IF SO, WHY ISN'T OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT CONGRATULATING THESE PEOPLE IN ANY FASHION?

This is disgraceful.

Is it really America any more? That’s the question.

I found this link:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/05/politics/biden-naturalization-ceremonies-video/index.html

On April 5, 2021, It says President Joe Biden recorded a video that will be played at naturalization ceremonies welcoming new US citizens in which he thanks them for choosing the United States and invokes his own ancestors who emigrated from Ireland.

But obviously, he never followed thru to make this a mandatory part of the American Citizenship ceremony.

I am quite sure that he or Myorkas addresses the illegals that come here.

Well, from Biden it would boil down to: “Shut up and vote the way you’re told, or we’re kicking you right back out.”

Democrats HATE American citizenship. They despise people who work hard and follow the rules. The illegal alien is their golden calf.

Tell your friend, she will be forced to make allegiance to another banner sooner than she thinks. The United States is no longer a republic. Most people didn’t get the memo when the election stolen.

Each year, more than three quarters of a million people become naturalized citizens of the United States. That’s a lot of ceremonies, large and small and almost every day of the year.

Of course, they will welcome those who will vote for them. The others, those that went the legal route? Probably won't vote for the Democrats, so f***'em.

If that is normal, my guess is it’s because our dim witted demented Joe has to be kept under wraps. They don’t like him saying something stupid. Like “end of message”.

I’m talking about a “recorded message” from the president, that newly sworn citizens listen to.

Said new citizens should consider their special day even more so for not having been besmirched by the utterly disgraceful thieving pedophile usurper currently occupying 1600.

My wife was naturalized over 20 years ago. There was no Presidential address in her ceremony.

Interesting. I’m wondering if it’s left to each state.

It is probably up to the individual office.

I have friends who have become citizens over the years, going back to Clinton, and all recall a message from the president at the time.
