Rep. Randy Fine Unveils Bill to BAN Foreigners from Serving In Congress: ‘You Can Not Swear An Oath to Two Countries’
"We've got dozens of people in Congress today who may be citizens of foreign countries. We know about over 30 who were born in other countries, and certainly were citizens of those other countries at times."
"I've put forward something that, frankly, is controversial, but shouldn't be that says only single citizens, only citizens of America, should be able to serve in Congress. If you're a citizen of another country, whether you were born there, or whether you naturalize into it, and you refuse to give up that citizenship, you should not be able to serve in Congress"
"Ilhan Omar was a citizen of Somalia. She was born in Somalia. She came to the United States. She has publicly said that she puts the interest of Somalia over the interests of the United States. So we can assume that she's a dual citizen, but we don't know that for sure, but she was a citizen of Somalia at some point, if she's not today, and the question is, if you're a citizen of Somalia and the United States, you can't swear an oath to protect and defend two countries. One of them has to come first. You can't serve two masters. So my bill is very simple. You can only be a citizen of the United States if you want to serve in Congress."
