While Democrats continue to coddle America's enemies, at least one Republican congressman is taking decisive action to protect the homeland from radicalized immigrants who bite the hand that feeds them.
Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV-02) announced Thursday he will introduce legislation to strip naturalized citizenship from any immigrant who supports terrorism or commits attacks in the name of Islamist jihad. The bill comes as Americans grow increasingly fed up with a "horrific pattern" of naturalized citizens turning against the very country that welcomed them.
This isn't rocket science, folks - if you come to America as an immigrant and then support those who want to destroy America, you've broken the sacred trust of citizenship. Moore's bill would give our nation the tools to send these ungrateful radicals back where they came from.
Long Overdue Common Sense
For decades, America has been hamstrung by weak immigration policies that make it nearly impossible to remove naturalized citizens who clearly hate this country. Meanwhile, we've watched terror attack after terror attack carried out by people who gained citizenship only to use it as a shield while plotting against innocent Americans.
The denaturalization process currently requires proving citizenship was obtained fraudulently - a deliberately high bar that protects jihadists more than it protects Americans. Moore's legislation would expand grounds for removal to include material support for terrorism and participation in jihadi violence.
"We cannot continue to allow individuals who have sworn allegiance to America to then turn around and support those who seek our destruction," Moore said in announcing the bill.
This is exactly the kind of America First legislation that President Trump's base has been demanding. While the Deep State and their Democrat allies scream about "due process" for terrorists, working Americans want results - not excuses for why we can't protect ourselves.
The question isn't whether this bill makes sense - it's whether Republicans will finally grow a spine and pass it. Patriots deserve representatives who put American lives above political correctness. Will Moore's colleagues join him, or will they cave to the inevitable leftist hysteria?
