If our citizenship and immigrant standards and background checks were what they should be, there would be no question of whether even temporary visa holders loved America more than the place of their birth, let alone immigrants and naturalized citizens.
I personally think there should be some sort of written evidence of someone’s family history. Just as doctors collect information on someone’s medical history (including that of their family members), I think a similar thing could be done for political/religious affiliations and history. For example, at my late grandfather’s funeral, a booklet was given out to all the attendees containing his biography, which clearly stated that he joined the Chinese anti-communist, nationalist army as a young man and retreated to Taiwan with them. The latter part of it detailed his conversion to Christianity and his faithful service to the church in his later years, and then the last pages of the booklet contained the lyrics of his favorite hymns. I think if there was written evidence that someone had a family background like that, they would be nearly guaranteed not to be communists themselves.
If they are vetted thoroughly for either no CCP connections or active animosity toward the CCP, coupled with being made aware of guaranteed severe punishment for espionage. This is all of course pie-in-the-sky thinking from someone who thinks it's possible for the US to have an efficient legal apparatus that isn't actively trying to destory it from within
Make the process a difficult and expensive struggle so they have to prove it. Also, require they give up any other citizenship before being naturalized.
American citizens no
Foreign born sure

How do you make sure someone loves America? It's possible to lie.

Do they post on TDW? Check, they love America.

Not being a Democrat is a good start..
The ccp believes they own all humans of chinese ancestry, and will use the dark army to blackmail any chinese to fall in line with the ccps desires.
So yes, even americans of chinese descent, unless we can prevent the dark army from operating in US borders.
