I thought that having the ability to read and speak English had long been a requirement for becoming a naturalized citizen. No soup for you!

You're assuming the 2 plaintiffs have a desire to become contributing, naturalized American citizens as they enjoy the resources and benefits at their disposal in this country.

Get in back of the line, you silly, pompous American!

But, really, is it not true that the legal requirements for becoming a citizen through the naturalization process, and being allowed to exercise the privilige of voting, include demonstrating ability to read and understand the English language?
This is why I cannot understand printing voting ballots in foreign languages. I’m not sure about which nation our government bureaucrats, not to mention certain highly-placed elected officials, are striving to serve.
