“Americans … in every single way but one — on paper."

President Barack Obama now claims that the illegal aliens, to whom he purports to grant what effectively is amnesty, are “Americans … in every single way but one — on paper.” That is false.  I believe the President is cleverly parsing words. People who live in the America’s, which includes North America and the USA are by definition “Americans”. But what does it take to be a US Citizen, which is actually the subject.  According to the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. (1) Allegiance to the United States Constitution, (2) renunciation of allegiance to any foreign country to which the immigrant has had previous allegiances (3) defense of the Constitution against enemies “foreign and domestic” (4) promise to serve in the United States Armed Forces when required by law (either combat or non-combat) (5) promise to perform civilian duties of “national importance” when required by law. Anyone seriously believe that the majority of even a significant minority of those illegal aliens actually believe in the above? Yes they are Americas, but the have not met the fundamental requirements to be US citizens.
