Understand...but I worry about the "McCarthy Effect" with our current crop of incompetent, Chicken Little legislators. I think it's already covered in the Oath of Allegience, anyway.

"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."

FWIW, I went to the USCIS web-site and took the citizenship test--scored 100%. It didn't seem all that hard to me; there were just a couple of questions I had to think much about. Here's the link.
