Trump records welcome message for new citizens: ‘You have such great wisdom'
A new video message from President Trump will be played at naturalization ceremonies to welcome new U.S. citizens, Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced this week as protests against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown spread. 'You have such great wisdom,' Trump says in the welcome message. 'Our entire nation is now yours to love and to help build and we trust that you will do a fantastic job and make us very, very proud.' USCIS said the video will be played at naturalization ceremonies after people take the Oath of Allegiance to become U.S. citizens. 'President Trump's message to new citizens is an essential one, and USCIS is honored to make it part of our naturalization ceremonies moving forward,' USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement. 'U.S. citizenship is a privilege and reserved for those who respect our laws, culture and history.' Meanwhile, people continue to protest in Los Angeles and other cities over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. Trump sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Marines to respond to the protests, over the objections from California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
