Over the last two decades, presidents craft speeches for welcoming new citizens at naturalization ceremonies. These messages reflect each president's stance on immigration and vision for the country. President Trump's recent speech, marked by a hardline immigration viewpoint, differs from previous presidents' focus on the positive contributions of immigrants. His remarks emphasized citizen responsibility and American culture preservation rather than celebration, contrasting with past celebratory tones observed in speeches by leaders like Obama and Bush. Trump highlights the exceptional nature of American heritage.
"Today you receive one of the most priceless gifts ever granted by human hands. You become a citizen of the United States of America."
"You now share a home and a heritage with some of the most exceptional heroes, legends, and patriots to ever walk the face of the earth."
