	Oath Of Citizenship Should Not Be Changed - Phyllis Schlafly
		The current oath of citizenship further states: "I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law." The BCIS revision is not satisfactory.
		Our current oath of citizenship is a superb statement of what loyalty to America means: both swearing allegiance to the United States and renouncing all allegiance to wherever and whoever the new American came from.
		Rather than rewriting the current oath of citizenship, the BCIS ought to be busy revoking the citizenship of those who violate their solemn oath.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Oath of Citizenship or Oath of Deception? by Bill West
		Jose Padilla, a native born U.S. citizen, was detained on American soil as a declared enemy combatant for his alleged involvement in planning to launch an al-Qaeda radiological bomb attack within the United States.
		Yet there are many other known and suspected terrorists holding U.S. citizenship who were bestowed that high honor through naturalization by the very Federal Government that, in many cases, had information about their terrorism links even before they were naturalized.
		Given the circumstances surrounding how many of these suspects gained their citizenship, the aggressive pursuit of these cases by the newly created ICE, a Federal immigration investigative agency dedicated to homeland security as its top priority, would appear to be more than appropriate.
