>>Poor sap thinks he lives in the USA.<<

You mean the way it ‘used’ to be? Before our sovereignty was being diminished, increment by increment? When immigrants had to stay on Ellis Island, and get full medical testing and proclaim allegience to our country? When those immigrants had to speak English before they could be ‘honored’ with citizenship, and actually wanted to “ADD” to this Land of the Free, and Home of the Brave?

You know - the days when they proudly held the flag of the United States, with tears streaming down their faces - and were PROUD to be a part of this Sovereign Nation.

Sorry, Charlie. Those days are gone, don’cha know?

Funny, my great grandma got citizenship without ever learning more than three words in English. She didn't have too, as EVERYONE within a 20 block radius spoke Polish.

Back in the old days, we didn't have ICE. All that you really needed for citizenship was to have a friend or relative testify that you were a "moral and responsible person." It was laughingly easy to get citizenship in the US until they past the restriction laws in 1925.
