Immigrant Test To Become More Meaningful

It’s actually a stunningly easy list of questions.

I expected it to be hard. Or at least somewhat challenging.

Not to nitpick, but wasn’t the Emancipation Proclaimation just an executive order signed by President Lincoln. In which case it wasn’t a law that freed slaves, unless there was some kind of corresponding bill in the Congress that did the same thing. I suppose it could have had the effect of law in the South in militarily controlled areas, since Lincoln was the Commander in Chief. Anyways, it was really the 13, 14 and 15th amendments that ended slavery as an institution after the Civil War.

#4, and yet those idiots are urged every two years to take their ignorance with them to the polls and vote. And that will be the primary reason why this republic will eventually fail.

55. What does it mean that the U.S. Constitution is a constitution of limited powers?

A: The federal government has only the powers that the Constitution states that it has.
A: The states have all powers that the federal government does not.

Ha, clearly it wasn’t a progressive liberal who wrote this test.

Wow, no questions about the Patriot Act? I’m stunned. Because clearly this government exists not to govern, but to eliminate terrorism. Maybe they were afraid to ask about it alongside all these questions about the Constitution…

#6 — you’re talking about the average motivated legal immigrant. Most illegals have no interest in becoming a citizen, They’re here to make more money than they could back home — and that’s where they send a significant portion of those earnings.

I’ve met illegals on job sites who’ve been working here 6-12 months a year for 10 years. They never wanted to be citizens and still don’t.

And they don’t give a damn about the local Americans whose jobs they take away for cheaper wages.

I remember some folks studing to ‘become citizens’ at work. They knew the line of succession (if something happends to the president, who is next in line etc.) right down to the guy who parks cars at the capitol cafe…
wow! Some people are very glad to ‘become Americans’ . I say we welcome them if they are willing to learn about US. If not, we’ll buy you a plane ticket home.

12# Even better than that, I’d like to know how potential electromagnetic interference from a small handheld device warrants federal regulation under the umbrella of interstate commerce. I seriously doubt my iPod is going to have an effect on commerce across state lines.

Actually, I know the answer – there are those people who view commerce as individual acts of exchange between parties, and those who view it as a single, huge interconnected system. The people who advocate federal control over everything fall into the second group.

In other words: Forcing the immigrants to learn something the *vast* majority of the youn’ ones take for granted.

#7 #10. Or anybody, really. ‘State’s Rights’ and ‘Federalism’ are tropes that people trot out when they like the outcome. The Religious Right wants the Federal government to override State laws about abortion and marriage just as various liberal groups push greater Federal powers to promote their causes.

I remember Bob Dole used to walk around saying that he carried a copy of the 10th Amendment next to his heart. I always wanted to ask him if that meant he supported California’s right to leagalize medical marijuana or opposed Federal interference with Oregon’s assisted suicide law.

79. What is the Pledge of Allegiance?

A: The promise of loyalty to the flag and the nation

When does the US Constitution expect/require this promise to be recited?

When does US Government law expect/require this promise to be recited?

How often is it required to be recited? Once? Daily? As required?

What actions will the US Government take against anyone who refuses to recite this promise?

WTF does “loyalty to the flag” mean, anyway???

Everytime some flag-waving [or flag lapel-pin wearing] yahoo claims if I disagree with them, then I am anti-American – I think of an early scene in Schindler’s List, as the Oskar Schindler character dons a Nazi lapel-pin… using a symbol that he doesn’t believe in, because it helps him get what he wants.

This is Kayla Vital and Ajelica Cardona and I personally belive that any person whos illegal; should be able to be allowed to become an american citizen( as long as they dont have a background)
