That's the cite from Immigration and Naturalization for the current oath of allegiance taken at naturalization. Page 28.
"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."
It is from the US Code.
INA: ACT 337 - OATH OF RENUNCIATION AND ALLEGIANCE
Sec. 337. [8 U.S.C. 1448]
(a) A person who has applied for naturalization shall, in order to be and before being admitted to citizenship, take in a public ceremony before the Attorney General or a court with jurisdiction under section 310(b) an oath
(1) to support the Constitution of the United States;
(2) to renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen;
Fine. Deport the illegals and put the kids up in foster/adoption...see how many still wish to keep THAT train going.
As for Congress, we all know what a waste of space/time/money that bunch has been.
I am for deporting the parents along with the children. End birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and people here on temporary visas, e.g., students, tourists, businessmen, etc.
Or Jeb's a white liberal elite who enjoys feeling MORE superior when surrounded by 'the natives'. (Think Brits feeling 'royal' when serving in India, Africa etc. in the 1930's and 1940's) - it's the ugly underbelly of white superiority)
Trump's right... illegals need to be deported. Trump can start the process the day he takes the oath - wish it could be sooner.
Good point.
Oh, I’m with you there, but until that time...
But, I’m also for killing off the welfare state (2+ birds w/ one stone) and HARD labor (exponential) for each offense if they still try.
Unfort., not even Trump is talking restoring Constitutional limits.
If you mean by the welfare state, SS and Medicare, you are in a very small minority. Those programs are here to stay. They must be reformed, but they are not going away.
Oh, yes, I know I’m in the minority. Even here you hear the gnashing of teeth of “My SS”, “MY xyz”...
But, unconstitutional is unconstitutional.
They ‘reform’ the tax codes every so often too. I’m still not impressed.
Just look at the topic of point...illegals, having never paid a LEGAL dime into the system being given everything w/out question.
The ONLY ‘reform’ that should be allowed is TERMINATION...then salt the Earth and nuke it from orbit.
Privatize mean give the job to people who are motivated to get the damn job done, as opposed to those who are rewarded for making the process take 5-10 years.
It isn’t about who sets the rules, its about who executes the process.
The rules don’t change, but the work actually gets done.
We bring in 1.1 million legal immigrants a year, more than the rest of the world combined.
Do you realize how the immigration system works? Do you know we have various categories of immigration based on such things as kinship, country of origin, etc.? There are annual caps on almost all categories except spousal visas. There are reasons why it takes years to get in. We have 4 million in line right now waiting their turn.
Since 1990 the US has taken in 35 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS. Do we really need more immigrants processed faster and in greater numbers annually? We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years with over 94 million Americans out of the work force.
It isnt about who sets the rules, its about who executes the process. The rules dont change, but the work actually gets done.
I suggest you get better informed about the rules. We need to reduce legal immigration, not increase it and make it easier. Go push your leftist crap somewhere else.
Newsflash!
Legal Immigration is NOT “leftist crap”.
My objective was to solve the ILLEGAL immigration problem.
If you’d rather let that problem fester, feel free to own that.
It is when you say such nonsensical things like, "Privatize mean give the job to people who are motivated to get the damn job done, as opposed to those who are rewarded for making the process take 5-10 years."
We don't need more legal immigrants and faster processing. Are you nuts?
I explained to you why the processing can take 5 to 10 years. We have set limits on the numbers who can be admitted annually. Isn't 1.1 million a year enough for you?
Immigration to the United States is a privilege, not a right. Our immigration policies should serve the best interests of the nation. The Leftists want more immigration and the process sped up so more can be admitted to transform this country into a Third World hellhole. We are being colonized and you want to hasten the process. Insane.
6. Privatize the legal immigration process, to motivate efficiency.
Indeed. If they are Mexican citizens then the 14th amendment cannot apply
dear liz,
With this finding, the Mexican government openly ADMITS that it sanctions the invasion of American territory, which in the days when men had balls, constituted an act of war.
My objective was to solve the ILLEGAL immigration problem.
If youd rather let that problem fester, feel free to own that.
You don't have a clue about the immigration process.
Good point....Mexico (and the rest of the Third World gathering at the border) are sending in the barbarian hordes lusting after our riches.
This declaration by Mexico underlines their goal to overthrow the US government....then the looting and pillaging begins.
The court that invented a right to same-sex marriage will have no problem asserting illegals right to US citizenship. And as Trump says the Supreme Court has ruled, it’s the land of the land. Time to move on.
