Happy National Pledge of Allegiance Day
What? You didn't know it was National Pledge of Allegiance Day? How un-American of you. Anyhoo, check out the Presidential Message in honor of the day that somehow manages to give it an anti-immigration spin:
Today, my Administration is strongly defending the value of American citizenship and respect for the American Flag. Last summer, I signed an Executive Order to preserve the dignity of our Stars and Stripes, including by vigorously enforcing accountability for acts of Flag desecration tied to violence and lawlessness—because those who hate our Flag resent the history, heritage, and heroes it represents even more. We are also authorizing the revocation of visas, residency, and naturalization for foreign nationals who desecrate the banner under which millions of American heroes have fought and died. We will never again allow those who hate our country to openly disrespect our Flag—and we will never waver in defending the sacred heritage that unites the American people beneath its banner.
