In yet another attempt to erase the Donald Trump years, the Joe Biden administration has decided to go back to an old version of the U.S. Citizenship test.
The current test, which was implemented by the Trump administration, has been criticized by some for not giving enough notice before the new test had been implemented.
A report from Newsmax stated that some of the complaints were that there was not enough time to study and preparation of training materials and resources. Another complaint was that for many of the questions, there was only one acceptable answer according to the study guide.
Homeland Security announced it is canceling the use of the new citizenship test the Trump administration developed and will go back to the test created in the Bush years.https://t.co/Hi2bXOz395

Liberals Making Citizenship Easier A New York Post report describes a few of the things that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services says will be different between the new test and the one implemented by Trump:
The test will consist of just ten questions, different from the current twenty questions. Applicants must pass at least 60% of the questions and pass a proficiency in English test.
Under the Trump test, there was a list of 128 questions that each test was able to draw questions from. That number now goes down to 100.
Applicants may also be asked about the functions of various offices within the federal government, such as Representatives and Senators, and the significance of the founding documents
How Hard Should It Be To Become A Citizen? The New York Post report went on to give a few examples of test questions that the Biden administration has deleted from the list of possible test questions, saying “the words ‘Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness’ are in what founding document? The only correct answer is the Declaration of Independence.”
Another is, “what founding document said the American colonies were free from Britain?” One more question removed from the list is, “Name one document that influenced the U.S. Constitution?”
The answers included for this question in the study guide were acceptable were the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence.

Immigration By The Numbers: Who is Taking The Test? According to a report from “AZ Central,” the USCIS currently has a backlog of 942,000 citizenship applications. As of 2019, the Department of Homeland Security stated that there are 13.6 million permanent residents in the U.S. Of those, 9.2 million qualify for naturalization.
The new policy states that anyone who has applied for citizenship since December 1, 2020, and has an interview scheduled prior to April 19, 2021, has the option to take either the 2020 test which they would have been studying for, or the 2008 version of the test.
If someone will have applied after March 1 of this year, they will take the 2008 test and the 2020 version will be phased out by April 19, 2021.
The Newsmax report also stated that there were many criticisms of the Trump administration test because of what was seen as “alleged conservative bias.” The bias was determined because there were five questions on the Federalist Papers, and only two about the Civil Rights movement.
Which does bring up the question as to what we will do with all the illegals after Revolution II which is becoming more and more likely.
Yeah, those questions with only one acceptable answer are bad. In fact I learned when reading about the teaching of math that they’re racissssst! What’s really important is what you FEEEEEEEL the answer is. Anything else is white (or ‘white-adjacent’) patriarchalism.
And it follows that voting ballots should be printed in English only.
Who do I blame for this? Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.
They had TWO YEARS to codify stuff like this in US law. Did they? Of course not, they were too busy advancing the interests of the US Chamber of Commerce to worry about such ‘pedestrian’ things as border enforcement and citizenship tests.
“Another complaint was that for many of the questions, there was only one acceptable answer”
If they have a problem with this, it certainly brings into question all the Elites’ fancy degrees.

“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”

Too hard for retarded future Democrats
You should see this test. I was educated in Israel and got a perfect score, no studying.
My wife, a Cuban refugee, took the test in 1971 in Kentucky. The judge who administered the test could tell she knew American history as well as any native and he was basically going through the motions to finish. He asked her, “Who was president during the Civil War?”
She smiled at him and replied, “Jefferson Davis.”
He laughed (this was in Kentucky, remember) and told her, “You passed!”

Not my experience in America.
Joseph Stalin will wave his hand and make tens of millions of illegal immigrants “citizens”.
In my community election ballots are available in 6 languages.
English proficiency?
Well, yes, I could see how that would be a problem considering we're now learning from the education department that 1+1 could have many different answers, all of which are correct.
So an already rather low bar for citizenship has now been replaced with a blood-pressure cuff.
Correct, it is in fact Republicans who have really been keeping the borders open and the laws unenforced and blocking conservatives from doing anything about it.
That has been the entire purpose of the GOP since 1989, blocking the citizens from stopping the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

He has to pay back the $145000,000 donors some how.
Another complaint was that for many of the questions, there was only one acceptable answer according to the study guide.
