    • Declaration of War Clause:
      • The act of burning the USA flag by an immigrant will be considered a declaration of war against the United States.

    • Immediate Interrogation and Deportation:
      • Individuals who commit this act will be subject to immediate interrogation by law enforcement and immigration authorities.
      • If found guilty, they will be deported without the possibility of returning to the U.S. in any capacity.

  2. For Citizens:

  • Deterrence: By imposing severe consequences, the proposal seeks to deter acts of desecration.
  • Civic Responsibility: The legislation encourages a culture of respect for national symbols, reinforcing the responsibilities of citizenship and immigration.

Implementation

  • Law Enforcement Training: Provide training to law enforcement agencies on how to handle cases of flag desecration.
  • Public Awareness Campaign: Initiate educational programs highlighting the significance of the flag and the repercussions of desecration.

Considerations

  • First Amendment Rights: Acknowledge potential conflicts with free speech protections. Legal experts should evaluate how to balance this proposal with constitutional rights.
  • Judicial Oversight: Ensure that the judicial process includes checks to prevent abuse of power and protect individual rights.

Conclusion

This legislative proposal seeks to protect a vital national symbol through defined consequences for desecration, while balancing the complexities of immigration and citizenship within the framework of American values.

I like this. I’d like to add that for citizens, you can do what you wish to a flag you bought and paid for and own while on your own property. This law should apply in any other circumstance. I really like the declaration of war part for non citizens. Good idea.

They call it a hate crime if anything happens to rainbow flags, so burning our American flag is a hate crime towards our soldiers. They have to be away from families, friends, and move every 3 years and never really make solid relationships. They get deployed away family for 9 months, in a combat zone and sometimes don’t make it back. When a soldier dies, they cover that casket with OUR FLAG.

When people burn our American FLAG that OUR SOLDIERS died for, it’s free speech, NO. That is a HATE CRIME towards our SOLDIERS! @NotDonJTrump

RESPECT OUR FLAG
