Military and Selective Service: An Interview from US Citizenship Bootcamp

An audiogram from the podcast: Military and Selective Service: An Interview from US Citizenship Bootcamp 

LISTEN to the FULL podcast 

Today we are going to listen to Francisco Pinedo a teacher and administrator from Soledad Adult School. We are going to practice the 9th interview from my new book, US Citizenship Bootcamp. 

This interview focuses on the vocabulary related to military service which can be a difficult conversation. Just as a person was a good soldier in the country of their birth, so can the same person be a good citizen in their chosen country, the United States.

Also, we depart a little bit from the interview script to have an extended conversation about registering for the Selective Service, a potentially problematic topic for men who come to the United States when they were young. At the end of the interview, we include further comments about Selective Service in English and Spanish.

Note from SSS.gov:

The Selective Service System has not now, or in the past, collected or shared any information which would indicate a man's immigration status, either documented or undocumented.  

The Selective Service System has no authority to collect such information, has no use for it, and it is irrelevant to the registration requirement. Consequently, there is no immigration data to share with anyone.

From July 5-July 21, 2017, I taught a combined ESL 2 and 3 class at Milpitas Adult School.  We took this opportunity to study ESL/Citizenship and read "Holding the Bag," an ESL novel set in Washington DC that had many links to study for the Citizenship interview.  After the class ended, we continued to post EdPuzzles of the VOA Learning English Presidents videos.  On August 21, 2017, we started the new school year.  ESL 1 students will continue to study a little citizenship every day.  For more info, see: Beginning Level Citizenship Classes

U.S. Citizenship Oath Ceremony - The Pivotal Moment

arc707.org: U.S. Citizenship Oath Ceremony - The Pivotal Moment

U.S. Citizenship Oath Ceremony = The Transition From Legal Permanent Residents to New Americans.

USCIS.gov: Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America

"I hereby declare, on oath, 

that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; 

that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; 

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; 

that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; 

that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; 

and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; 

so help me God."

Note: In certain circumstances there can be a modification or waiver of the Oath of Allegiance. Read Chapter 5 of A Guide to Naturalization for more information.

The principles embodied in the Oath are codified in Section 337(a) in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which provides that all applicants shall take an oath that incorporates the substance of the following:

1. Support the Constitution;
2. Renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen;
3. Support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
4. Bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and
5. A. Bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; or
   B. Perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; or
   C. Perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law.

The language of the current Oath is found in the Code of Federal Regulations Section 337.1 and is closely based upon the statutory elements in Section 337(a) of the INA.

Court Case: Is It Lawful to Repatriate Someone Who May be Tortured?

VOANews: Court Case: Is It Lawful to Repatriate Someone Who May be Tortured?

A court case in Detroit, Michigan, involving 114 Iraqis, asks whether it is lawful to send foreign nationals back to their countries of origin if there is a high likelihood they will be tortured or killed. As VOA immigration reporter Aline Barros reports, the case could have far-reaching consequences for thousands of other foreign nationals from a variety of countries.
