“2) a deadly wall on the Mexican border. And admission to citizenship only those really qualified, i.e., who know American language, history, geography, civics, math and science.”
I believe in the wall, but I think there are many worthwhile people who may not know English, or American History, but who are worthwhile and can make worthwhile citizens (Their home countries may not afford access to learn these two things)..and our own citizens, sadly, don’t perform well in either of these two areas, either. How to you feel about “buffer” communities for people to learn english, history, etc, and if they don’t learn quick, send them back, at their own expense. (Maybe they can contribute to some form of industry while in the buffer community). Just a question, I just thought of it in response to your post, so no flaming! ;)
Present law requires those who want to gain US Citizenship to have been permanent residents for 5 years (3 years if spouse of Citizen) or military service.
Those years are entirely adequate to learn American language, history, geography, civics, math and science (though not in all American public schools—something which also needs changing).
