• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

US will ‘overhaul’ the citizenship test

If we're supposed to be arguing about the quoted portion above,
I think the point you're missing is that assimilation was not required. As soon as they become American citizens, that's it. They are already American citizens. We are not tolerating them. They are us.

MOD HAT ON

This thread has had a cleanup to remove some goading posts that are also off topic.​

Making random claims that certain public figures wouldn't pass the citizenship test is goading their supporters and is not allowed. It's also not on topic to this thread, which is about the content of the test and an overhaul that is going on.​

American citizenship is the most sacred citizenship in the world and should only be reserved for aliens who will fully embrace our values and principles as a nation. By ensuring only those aliens who meet all eligibility requirements ... the American people can be assured that those joining us as fellow citizens are fully assimilated and will contribute to America’s greatness."
This sounds great. Its how it used to be. People came here to BE Americans not to just live in America. I like it.

What, though, in the cited portion did you find creepy? I'm quite sure both the naturalized US citizens I have in mind wouldn't find it creepy.
My whole family was naturalized including me. I don't find it creepy at all. Its what we all wanted. We all love America despite her flaws through the years.

Many refugees continue to love their home country--in fact, they are criticized for it by the present administration.
The question is, do they recognize that America is better than their home country? If not then why are they a refugee? Its because rheir country is so bad they needed to get out.
It's certainly not that way now--now we have instant change by executive order.
Thats a good point. Unfortunately it was necessary for SOME things which were fast tracked before. Other things, I certainly would have preferred that congress had taken action on for sure to make it law and long lasting.
Are you proud of the present administration and it's policies?
Can't speak for Rob, but I'm very proud of some things and not so proud of others. I suppose like anyone is with any administration. I'm guessing many weren't proud of Biden's administration either on some things.

I think it has been a long time since all of us have been proud of everything an administration has done.
