h/t WRSA weaponsman.com/?p=24184New Oath of Allegiance: Bearing Arms Opt-OutFor all but two years1 of the entire history of the United States of America, new citizens have sworn an Oath of Allegiance. But an important ingredient in the oath is being stricken by the Administration. No more will immigrants have to promise to be willing to bear arms for the United States; they now will have an opt-out based, not even on religious belief, but any kind of inchoate and general “feels.” Like Abdulazeez here, maybe they want to bear arms against Americans? That’s fine! Now, because Congress has delegated them the authority to do this, it’s perfectly legal even if it’s not especially smart. Legally, the Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services is allowed to change the oath, as long as the “five principles” outlined in Section 337(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act are adhered to. Being as the principles are: 1.Allegiance to the Constitution; 2.Renunciation of any foreign allegiances; 3.Defense of the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic; 4.Willingness to bear arms in the Armed Forces; 5.Willingness to do civilian duties of national importance. The Willingness to Bear Arms clause should stay in. But the CIS is now changing the clause, to streamline the path to citizenship of those preferred immigrants who not only don’t want to bear arms for the United States but are interested in bearing arms against. A new provision allows the would-be Americans to opt out of defending their fellow Americans if they have any reason not to want to.
