Well, so you want to be a citizen of the United States, huh? Well, really it's fairly easy. I mean, any ol' thug or crook with enough time for study and funding (personal or otherwise) can get in. You see, we have some very strict guidelines, but guess what, like our laws, nobody enforces them. Oh, I listed the so-called "requirements" below, ha.
Now, let me give you an example of just how lax them immigration & naturalization folks are. Have you ever run across someone, in this country, who can't speak a drop of English or maybe fumbles through it? They can be French, Vietnamese, Spanish, Mexican, Russian, Italian, or from any other country. They are a citizen, but no English. Huh! Good thing I have them requirements right here. Let's see. Yeah, it's the seventh one down. Here, let me show her to ya: Be able to read, write, and speak English and have knowledge and an understanding of U.S. history and government (civics). Wow! That's pretty darn clear. Wonder how some get through? Be a good question to ask a Senator, IF THEY WOULD LISTEN!
Oh, and I love that last one: Be a person of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during all relevant periods under the law. I don't remember seeing in the Constitution anything about killing folks, who don't believe the way you do. Did I miss it? Help me out now, if I did. Hey, while you're looking, what about the "good order and happiness" deal? I mean, if an ol' boy came up to me and said, "John, I am demanding, that you convert to my religion or because of my beliefs, I have to kill you." Now, would that be a "good order and happiness" situation? Oh, and if this ol' boy believed this way and WOULD NOT reject those beliefs, no matter what, well, would he be considered to have, "good moral character?" That's in that first par, in case you missed it.
So, it seems we have a very HUGE problem with them boys and girls down there at the Immigration & Naturalization Department, don't it? And just to shed a little more light on the subject, here is a statement from a gal, who oversees some of these immigration operations. She wrote this to me: "John - I am on the Naturalization committee here in IL - we have 3 - 4 ceremonies a year at the old State House, in the old chambers that Lincoln walked and talked in! These folks are investigated for 5 years - if they are criminal record clean they get approved! They never look at their religious believes or affiliations. Now with this kind of violence on the rise this guy just caught trying to set off the car bomb and the FT Hood disaster - maybe the INS will change some of their requirements and background investigations. But any changes must be made with approval of congress and the WH too. We just had a ceremony in April there were 58 new citizens sworn in and most were from India, Africa and the Middle East and most were Muslims." Did ya catch that last part? Most were Muslims. In Illinois. Isn't that where almost all of Obama's friends and supporters are? Chicago? Hmm.
Well, you can check out the requirements below and I attached the link, if you want to dig further. Of course, once again, any changes have to be approved by Congress and Obama. Fat chance of that happening! Work through the States, you'll get more accomplished and THANK YOU ARIZONA!
