Immigrants who are becoming citizens will now be held to an additional pledge: Loyalty to the President. They must also be required to submit images of their ballots for the next election after pending approval of citizenship to ICE before their citizenship will be finalized. Under the bill the executive has sole discretion to DENY and DEPORT immigrants who would otherwise pass their citizenship requirements. Ultimately this is unconstitutional and would not pass muster against the Supreme Court but with Trump having an additional seat to fill, it is expected that the Supreme Court would validate such a law, should the bill pass. NOW IS THE TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO STAND IN FULL AND COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE CONGRESS! They must pull out every stop to grind the gears to a halt to prevent any further atrocities like this from passing into law.
And while the above is completely sarcasm, sadly, I can imagine this being real in the current state of affairs.
