If 'little George Dubya Bush' wins, we are going to apply for Canadian citizenship.
LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers, our friends, our loved ones, and they are full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship. That includes marriage. I support it personally, and as a matter of policy and law.
. . . When we quietly go about our business as our rights are plundered, when we yield to passivity and switch on the wii and hand over our power, we are not acting like true Americans. Indeed, at those moments we are giving up our citizenship.
Citizenship is what makes a republic - monarchies can get along without it.
We do not support an automatic pathway to citizenship.
Good citizenship and defending democracy means living up to the ideals and values that make this country great.
We suffer from a terrible poverty of civic discourse in this country. Surely, it is outside of America's best traditions to send the signal that patriotism is mindless emotion, that leadership is avoiding saying tough things, that citizenship is toeing the line. But such is the result of a lack of openness, our nervousness with debate.
Donald Trump proposes to deport 16 million people, 11 million who are here without documents. And both Donald Trump and Mike Pence want to get rid of birthright citizenship. So if you're born here, but your parents don't have documents, they want to eliminate that. That's another 4. 5 million people.
Using the latest in science and technology to shatter today's economic paradigm of 'insatiable individuals competing for scarce resources,' Planetary Citizenship brings us full circle to the ancient wisdom of indigenous peoples and the sacredness of creation.
Immigration. There's two plans on the table. Hillary and I believe in comprehensive immigration reform. Donald Trump believes in deportation nation. You've got to pick your choice. Hillary and I want a bipartisan reform that will put keeping families together as the top goal, second, that will help focus enforcement efforts on those who are violent, third, that will do more border control, and, fourth, that will provide a path to citizenship for those who work hard, pay taxes, play by the rules, and take criminal background record checks.
I always say there's no ticket of admission for active citizenship. Anybody can get through that gate, and anybody can ask that basic question that gets the ball rolling.
I will argue until my last breath for a pathway to citizenship that is quick and efficient because I want to end this chapter. I want to end it. . . But let me say, conversely, I am as committed as any Republican to ending illegal immigration as we know it. . . They want to end it. So do I.
A path to citizenship for those who are here illegally in my view is unfair to those waiting sometimes a decades in line to come here.
What makes America special is that people come here, assimilate and become American with all of the rights and responsibilities citizenship bestows.
from the slave ship to the citizenship we faced a lot of bullship
Getting my library card was like citizenship; it was like American citizenship.
I think that anybody who works and pays taxes ought to have a right for citizenship.
Conservatives forget that citizenship is more than a thing to withhold from immigrants. Progressives forget it's more than a set of rights.
Civility also requires relearning how to disagree without being disagreeable. Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith or, for that matter, my citizenship.
History is the key to citizenship.
