Feds: New citizens can skip pledge to take up arms and defend the US
Published July 21, 2015


U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Tuesday said it will no longer require incoming U.S. citizens to pledge that they will "bear arms on behalf of the United States" or "perform noncombatant service" in the Armed Forces as part of the naturalization process.

Those lines are in the Oath of Allegiance that people recite as they become U.S. citizens. But USCIS said people "may" be able to exclude those phrases for reasons related to religion or if they have a conscientious objection.

USCIS said people with certain religious training or with a "deeply held moral or ethical code" may not have to say the phrases as they are naturalized.

The agency said people don't have to belong to a specific church or religion to use this exemption, and may attest to U.S. officials administering the oath that they have these beliefs.

Film at 11..... 😣 😣

"Let them live somewhere else then..!!"



Damn right!

CAROUSEL IS A LIE!

Lawgivers! I submit myself to the will of Landrew!

Mixed SciFi? Careful of the Gom Jabbar!

I wish they would remake Logans Run

I need to watch it again... has been too long.... 🤔

Patience, they remake everything. It's much easier than coming up with new ideas.

New legal citizens who took a different oath are much more acceptable than illegal immigrants being allowed to stay here. IMO.

Why do you hate America..?? 😕

So you are good with our illegal immigrant policy?

Why are you trying to spin my question..?? 😕

I did not say I liked the change in the wording. You assumed that. I assume that most people who become Americans would be ready to defend America. On the other hand if you are an illegal immigrant why would you defend America?
