The pledge of U.S. citizenship since 1795 includes these words:"... to renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, and sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen."
This poses a great difficulty to the multicultural blueprint. Multiculturalism, to retain diverse, requires a diversity of language, culture, traditions, heroes, and bloodline. It also happens to invoke a variety of allegiances, specifically to foreign states. It is for this reason that we hear of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and others. This is also at the root of the fact that around 18% of Hispanic Americans respondents to the Hispanic Pew Center poll identified themselves as Americans first and foremost.
This is horribly problematic. It is problematic to the American identity. It is problematic to our culture, our language, and our way of life. Yet this is at the heart of multicultural dogma.
The greater issue at hand here is one of perjury. When anyone, regardless of nationality, vows to "renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity" to the nations they came from, they better make good on that claim. In the instance where they act in any way contrary to this oath, they are guilty of perjury. This is something that must be taken seriously.
Multiculturalism is fine and dandy, but the moment it enables or encourages one to break the oath of their citizenship (if they are here legally), then we have a problem. Unfortunately, this is all too common among those involved in multicultural programs, whether on campus or in the workplace.
