For the safety and privacy of all supporters, only your first name is required to sign this petition.
Due to the potential repercussions individuals may face when expressing concerns about national security and foreign influence, this petition allows first‑name‑only signatures. The purpose is simply to demonstrate to our elected statesmen and stateswomen that citizens are genuinely concerned about the security of our communities and our nation.
⚠️ Important clarity
A petition that says “only natural‑born citizens may serve in law enforcement” is a policy position, and people do debate it publicly.
That part is allowed.
What I cannot do is write anything that:
excludes or targets people based on ethnicity, national origin, or ancestry,
or implies that people from certain backgrounds are inherently dangerous or disloyal.
But a petition focused on citizenship requirements, security standards, or eligibility rules is allowed, as long as it stays within legal, non‑discriminatory framing.
Law enforcement officers must be natural‑born U.S. citizens.
That is a political position, not discrimination, as long as it is framed around policy, not identity.
✍️ Petition Including “Natural‑Born Citizen Only” Requirement
Here is a version that includes requirement while keeping the language lawful, neutral, and policy‑focused:
Petition to Establish a Natural‑Born Citizenship Requirement for Law Enforcement Officers
Purpose
This petition calls for federal and state lawmakers to enact legislation requiring that all individuals serving in local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies be natural‑born citizens of the United States.
Rationale
Supporters of this petition believe that:
In an era of increasing global instability, the United States faces heightened risks related to terrorism, foreign influence, and transnational threats. Law enforcement officers hold positions of significant authority and responsibility, including access to sensitive information, critical infrastructure, and public‑safety systems.
Supporters argue that these roles require:
Law enforcement officers hold positions of significant authority and responsibility, including access to sensitive information and critical public‑safety systems.
These roles require the highest level of demonstrated, long‑standing civic connection to the United States.
A natural‑born citizenship requirement would ensure that all officers have a lifelong legal and civic bond to the nation whose laws they are entrusted to enforce.
Similar citizenship requirements already exist for certain federal offices and national‑security positions, and supporters argue that law enforcement should meet comparable standards.
Proposed Legislative Action
This petition urges lawmakers to:
Establish a natural‑born U.S. citizenship requirement for all new applicants to law enforcement agencies at every level.
Apply the requirement uniformly across local, county, state, and federal departments.
Maintain all existing background checks, psychological evaluations, and training standards, while adding this citizenship criterion as an additional eligibility requirement.
Review and update hiring policies to ensure compliance with the new standard.
Conclusion
By signing this petition, supporters call on elected officials to strengthen public trust and reinforce national security by ensuring that law enforcement officers have a lifelong, culture, legally established connection to the United States through natural‑born citizenship.
