Obama Administration Strips Requirement to Defend The United States From Citizenship Oath

Town Hall – by Katie Pavlich

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has “clarified” requirements for individuals becoming naturalized citizens by stripping out the requirement of defending the United States through military service.

“Effective July 21, 2015, new guidance (PA-2015-001) in the USCIS Policy Manual clarifies the eligibility requirements for modifications to the Oath of Allegiance. Reciting the Oath is part of the naturalization process. Candidates for citizenship normally declare that they will “bear arms on behalf of the United States” and “perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States” when required by the law. A candidate may be eligible to exclude these two clauses based on religious training and belief or a conscientious objection,” an email from USCIS clarifying the requirements states (bolding is mine).  

The new guidance:

-May be eligible for modifications based on religious training and belief, or conscientious objection arising from a deeply held moral or ethical code.
-Is not required to belong to a specific church or religion, follow a particular theology or belief, or to have had religious training in order to qualify.
-May submit, but is not required to provide, an attestation from a religious or other type of organization, as well as other evidence to establish eligibility.

Although the U.S. has a voluntary military without a draft, meaning citizens are not currently required by law to serve, these new exemptions are highly alarming should the country need to call on its citizens for defense in the future. The United States has always allowed for exceptions to combat based on religious convictions, the Quakers are one example. However, Quakers have found different roles, i.e. as medics, inside the military to aid in the country’s defense. This rule change allows naturalized citizens to refuse service altogether.

  1. these new exemptions are highly alarming should the country need to call on its citizens for defense in the future.

    Are you kidding? These people don’t care about the US, all they care about are the freebies they are “entitled” to. These will be the first to get a go juice drain hole installed for free. All they have to do is pick the size, .45 being my favorite.

  2. To be a NATURAL citizen you MUST be born in the united states with at least ONE parent being a natural citizen.

    Any outsider can apply for citizenship…. but not NATURALIZED citizenship.

    THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT.

    This is my understanding….
    and now I’m going to look it up again.

  3. NaturaliZED Citizen:

    One who, being born an alien, has lawfully become a citizen of the United States Under the constitution and laws….

    I stand corrected.

    I think they deliberately make these terms almost identical to
    purposely be confusing…. the easier for them to dupe the public.

  4. Just wait. Barry will soon do away with the Constitution altogether and allow immigrants to pledge their oath to the UN Constitution in order to get US citizenship and will say to the existing American people, “Well it doesn’t matter if they pledge to the US or the UN. The UN is international law and our laws are in accordance to their laws.”

    This will allow him to assimilate everyone into the Zionist’s One World Government.

    Can’t wait to hang this SOB.
