Americans of every background gathered beneath the carved faces at Mount Rushmore as a new class of citizens took the oath — and Fox’s Lara Trump brought their stories to the nation on her show My View, giving hardworking viewers a front-row seat to genuine patriotism and gratitude. Watching soon-to-be citizens describe why they chose America was a reminder that love of country still drives people to seek the responsibilities, not just the benefits, of citizenship.
The naturalization ceremony itself was powerful and unmistakably American: on June 13, 2025, 199 people from 52 countries were sworn in at the national park amphitheater, each stepping forward to declare their allegiance where generations of patriots are commemorated. Despite morning fog that briefly hid the monument, the ceremony continued — new Americans spoke of safety, opportunity, and sacrifice before the fog lifted and the crowd celebrated.
This is the immigration America should honor — those who follow the rules, study civics, and stand in line for the privilege of citizenship. Conservatives who defend legal immigration are not closing their hearts; we are protecting the promise of assimilation and shared national identity that binds Americans together and makes that promise meaningful.
Viewers saw ordinary people who represent the best of what this country offers: hard work, family devotion, and gratitude for the rule of law. The choir’s rendition of “What a Wonderful World” and the personal testimonies on stage underscored that citizenship is not merely paperwork but a solemn covenant with fellow citizens.
Which brings us to the contrast with the radical open-borders crowd: celebrating lawful naturalization does not mean turning a blind eye to chaotic illegal immigration or the policies that encourage it. If we truly honor newcomers, we must insist on a system that rewards merit, enforces the border, and expects assimilation — otherwise the word citizen loses its meaning and the civic fabric frays.
Patriots should applaud media moments like this one when they showcase real American pride rather than the performative narratives so common on the left. Lara Trump’s interviews amplified those authentic voices — reminding the country that patriotism, gratitude, and respect for the rule of law are not political props but the foundations of a free and prosperous nation.
