Original Citizenship Oath now censored

More than two dozen House Republicans have proposed a bill that would prevent the Obama administration from changing the Oath of Allegiance that people take when becoming naturalized U.S. citizens.

The bill from Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., is a reaction to last week's announcement that the Obama administration's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services wants to water down the oath. USCIS has said it will not require naturalized citizens to say they will "bear arms on behalf of the United States" or "perform noncombatant service."

The agency said it made the change to accommodate people's religion or conscientious objection. It said officials administering the naturalization oath are free to let people avoid those phrases if they claim to have a "deeply held moral or ethical code."

But the move angered many conservatives, who said the change further weakens U.S. immigration rules by giving people citizenship rights in the United States without some of the corresponding responsibilities to defend the nation. Black said Congress needs to ensure the Obama administration doesn't create a wave of naturalized citizens who don't feel obligated to defend the country they have adopted as their new home.

If there has to be a change why not simply state that naturalized citizens have the same obligations and responsibilities as other citizens. That should cover it without specifying the details, and otherwise it might sound like naturalized citizens have greater legal obligations than others.

Obama is a Community Organizer without any executive ability.

When is the last time you heard a leftist seriously discuss the responsibilities of citizenship? Heck, when is the last time they encouraged personal responsibility in anything?

Precisely what Obama wants, a bunch of sheapish immigrants that will lay down and cower at the first sign of agression against our country.

If it came down to citizens defending the U.S., I don't think I'd want foreigners on the front lines with me anyway.

Well Anon 10:57 you would have had a hard time fighting for your country in either the Revolutionary or Civil Wars as both had large numbers of foreigners fighting to defend the US.

Let's face it. Most of the immigrants left their country because they weren't interested in in defending it. What make's anyone think they will defend America?
