President Trump Tells Citizens to ‘Fiercely Guard’ American Way of Life in New Naturalization Ceremony Message
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today released a video message in which President Trump welcomes newly naturalized citizens into our “national family” and invokes the pride new citizens should feel to share a home and heritage with America’s most exceptional heroes and patriots.
The video message will be played at naturalization ceremonies across the country where aliens take the Oath of Allegiance to become U.S. citizens after meeting all the requirements for naturalization, including following the law, speaking English, and demonstrating an attachment to the U.S. Constitution. In the video message, President Trump describes U.S. citizenship as a “sacred honor” and reminds new citizens that with this “comes the highest responsibility.”
“President Trump’s message to new citizens is an essential one, and USCIS is honored to make it part of our naturalization ceremonies moving forward,” said USCIS Spokesman Matthew Tragesser. “U.S. citizenship is a privilege and reserved for those who respect our laws, culture, and history.”
The full video is available on USCIS’ YouTube channel.
