Naturalized citizens are citizens.
We are not supposed to have 1st class and 2nd class citizens in law.

 

[Expat]

Surely we can all agree that the added diversity makes some espionage acceptable. Who are we to criticize their culture?

With the current occupier of the WH and the sweetheart deals being offered by the incorruptible DOJ, you should have used purple.

What does one have to do with the other? It's no one or the other.

Yes, it actually is. Those people vote for policies that directly harm the people, in far greater volumes than the general population.

When you bring in people from communist countries, they bring their politics with them 9 out of 10 times, because "they just didn't do it right back home!"

It even happens with our own people when they move out of a state their politics destroyed. Just ask anyone from Texas. It's practically an incurable mental illness.

Huh? Communist countries? Are you talking about China in particular? In 2022, of the nearly 1 million naturalized citizens, Chinese make up 32,700. Or are you speaking of Cuba? They make up 46,700? But 58% of Cubans (those Commies) are registered Republicans. So, are we advocating citizenship application denials based on Liberal ideals? I'm curious on where your stats come from, "Those people vote for policies that directly harm the people, in far greater volumes than the general population." "When you bring in people from communist countries, they bring their politics with them 9 out of 10 times, because "they just didn't do it right back home!"

.gov also thinks old ladies walking around a building justifies a year in prison without a trial and multiple years of sentencing.

That's about as credible to me as pravda.

In short, I would not want to be in their shackles. Seeing blue sky is about to become a luxury for them.
