Let's Amend The Naturalization Law

I've recently become acquainted with an individual who became an American citizen thanks to one of our government's periodic "amnesty" programs.

He openly brags about how he's eluded the border patrol while bringing in illegal aliens, and operates a side business selling drugs. He generally exudes the feeling that our stupid American laws were made to be broken.

Now, as a naturalized citizen, he had to take an oath. It reads:

"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."

This fellow obviously isn't defending the laws of the US of A as he promised, is he?
So, I propose the following amendment....

"Any naturalized citizen found in violation of the Oath Of Allegiance, to wit, a felony crime, shall have their naturalized citizenship status revoked, and at the discretion of the judge in such a case, order deportation to the country from which the individual originally held citizenship."

I'm sure the ACLU would just love that, but so be it.
