Just making sure they know the mission of the U.N. is to establish a One-World Order and neutralize the United States.
They are testing the test.
Uh, I studied history in college and a) someone above is correct in postulating as to whether a college grad could past this test and b)real testing is social sciences at a college level is always an essay option if the instructor is sincere. Multiple choice in history is a joke and if someone wants to become a citizen they should have a concept of the functionality of both American government and society. Simply asking where the capital is or similar trivia is pretty much begging the uninterested to forget their lessons, but a more difficult exam will help to better instill a sense of what it is to be an American.
"But understand that my client must become a citizen before she qualifies for the panoply of welfare benefits available to United States citizens. It is grossly unfair to ask her to spell: `US'."

Not true. If she has an "anchor baby" the baby qualifies for ALL benefits. Therefore the illegal alien benefits too.
2/3 of Congress couldn't pass those questions. Nearly 3/4 of the judiciary as well...
Further it was written by Lincoln and issued under the concept (conceit?) of wartime powers as an Executive Order. The Cabinet never voted until after its issuance and it never to the best of my knowledge received any legislative blessing.
Interesting... thanks for the info. I was interested in examining how Executive Orders began and how they got to the point they are today (substitutes for the amendment ratification process). If the justification is "emergency powers" then they should be of defined duration (two years, for example) and then expire.
By the way, the Cabinet never "voted." My mistake. Lincoln asked for comments and it (the Proclamation) went out the door before they again met.
Makes you really trust all those claims of "strict requirements" when those illegals get on that path to citizenship huh?
