1. Now, to me, that is one of the few times saying the pledge is
appropriate.

Even with all the things wrong about this country there are still a lot of people the world over that want to come here.

2. Not to break up the potential love fest.
But it's very possible that Ms. Babai has been here for quite awhile as a permanent resident and had no interest in becoming a citizen until her relatives said, "Aunt Sona, please stop being so stubborn. Get your citizenship so they don't send you back to Iran where we can't take care of you! They're arresting people on suspicion!"

You never can tell with pictures.
