Tens of thousands of immigrants seeking citizenship as immigration is key campaign issue.

MIAMI (AP) — Tens of thousands of immigrants are applying for U.S. citizenship in a year when immigration is at the center in this year's presidential campaign.

Many immigration advocates say fear of Donald Trump becoming president is motivating many longtime immigrants to apply for citizenship, so they can vote.

On a recent Saturday morning in South Florida, 50-year-old Edgar Ospina (oh-SPEE'-nah) stood in a long line to take the first step

Interesting and annoying how the bastard left keeps removing the adjective “illegal” from Trump’s statements and uses it to frighten and cause riots.

Stop using the words the LEFT wants you to use!

Well from what I read, they are fast tracking them into citizenship for the express purpose to vote against Trump. This should be examined more thoroughly because currently we have a President who wanted millions of green cards printed up to be handed out like free coupons to anyone who crossed the border.

Many immigration advocates say....

Not the immigrants themselves. Just their advocates. And the only "immigrants" that need "advocates" are the immigrants who are here illegally.

Immigrants getting off their duff and becoming citizens is good. Illegal aliens are not becoming citizens (I hope) but the Rats are likely letting them vote any way. Funny how the definitions are blurred between Illegal Aliens and Immigrants; they are not the same.

The cost is around $680. You have to prove you can understand the basic English language and you have to take a test on US history. I believe it’s 10 question picked from 100.

Examples....who is the father of our country?

What countries did the US fight in WW2?

Who was the President of WW1?

What is the last day you can file your Income Tax?

I mean by ‘Texas alone’ to mean in this particular state.
I know others have been victims, too.

Texas whipped their sorry Mexican a$$es once before and it’s looking like we’ll have to do it again.

(See my bio or ‘about page’:) )

Problem is that under 55 they are to speak and write decent English, but Democrat government workers I think are under orders to rubber stamp them in.

They were also to remain 125% above the poverty level and not be on the dole. Same for their dependents. I think that is overlooked as well.

As they learn the responsibilities of citizenship they will honor the words of Trump.

ROFL! They'll do no such thing. They're here for the freebies. Once they start voting they'll be nothing more than Democrat voters who continue to take money from your pocket and mine, so they can keep their freebies.

Build the Wall,
Deport Them All.

Now if only the word would spread and start motivating more illegals to preemptively self-deport.

The process takes a very long time. Like longer than November.

King Obama, the communists black Muslim terrorists, will make sure his pen will grant citizenship long before November. Watch and see how many millions of illegal will be eligible to vote.

Trump for President.

Inaccurate selection of words changes the entire meaning.

Trump speaks against FOREIGN INVASION softening it by calling it immigration to add the component of racism to the dialog. Since supporting the law has no defense, change the subject so it appears Trump is trying to do what Obama does with executive orders.

Seeking to become citizens. Just like they’re supposed to do. Trump was talking about those who come across the border with no intention of ever becoming citizens.
