| | Naturalization and Citizenship - Legal Research |
 | | Citizenship by naturalization is a privilege to be given, qualified, or withheld as Congress may determine; an individual may claim it as a right only upon compliance with the terms Congress imposes. |
 | | Any naturalized person who takes this oath with mental reservations or conceals or misrepresents beliefs, affiliations, and conduct, which under the law disqualify one for naturalization, is subject, upon these facts being shown in a proceeding brought for the purpose, to have his certificate of naturalization cancelled. |
 | | The failure of the statute, the Court held, was that it impermissibly distinguished between native-born and naturalized citizens, denying the latter the equal protection of the laws. |
