What would be an example of good moral character?

There should be standards of acceptable behavior. One is here to work, not in pursuit of leisure.

From the article...”This may include caregiving, raising a family, maintaining employment, paying taxes, educational attainment, career achievements, and community involvement.”

You would think most of this would be required (aside from family & caregiving), in any case. No leaning on social services. I would exclude being religiously observant, if it was to a Mosque. And that should be a dis-qualifier.

At least they understand it.

My Greek grandmother spoke very spoken English, but she could understand the soap operas, blaring from a TV in the other room while she was cooking. She gave birth to four girls, all went on to finish college, marry and have children that did the same thing.

We’re in a civil war folks. People like Massie don’t understand this. This is for the survival of our country

IT’s now clear why we are in so much debt. WE’ve been betrayed by the people, we voted for, along with people like COmey, Brennan, Clapper, Bolton and others, we didn’t vote for.

Nothing about giving up their native citizenship and loyalty to their mother country?
That should be first, with a stipulation that US Citizenship will be stripped and they will be deported if they violate it.

Being a person of “good moral character” was required since the nationalization act of 1790, wonder why they got rid of it in the first place

Didn’t Ellis Island require immigrants to prove financial independence, or to have a sponsor who would be financially responsible for them?

Not strolling around wearing $200 dollar sneakers, having no job and bitching about being ‘’oppressed’’.

Hmmm, those tests would eliminate virtually the entire Democrat congress-critter population.

It seems to me that requirement is the necessary requirement of a good citizen.
