		<description>We are only Americans - NOT HYPHENATED ANYTHING!  I burn everytime I hear/read/see _____-American.  My spouse only refers to himself as American - nothing else.  And I can hear him swearing when he makes a phone call and is asked if he wants to hear the information in English.  We are losing our borders....and our identity.</description>

		<description>When I was going through the citizenship process, I had to write a sentance in English proving I had mastery of the language. When I was being sworn in (Camden, NJ), there was a woman behind me who had an interpreter telling her what the judge was saying. How in the world did she pass her verbal interview? Being asked 10 out of 100 questions on US history and civics? And in what laguage did she swear her alligence to the USA? I was shocked. But hey, at least the ceremony was in English.</description>

		<description>Suggested reading for the offending judge:

&quot;In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man&#039;s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn&#039;t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...&lt;em&gt;We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.&lt;/em&gt;&quot;

		<description>If either of those things happened when I was becoming an American citizen I would have left the room. Neither of those judges have any business on the bench let alone giving the oath of citizenship.  NO ONE had to stay through that crap.  Reading that made me feel spit upon hardly the feeling you want to remember when you finally become a citizen.

There are lots of judges who DO take citizenship seriously.  I would have waited for one of those to take the oath.  AND I would have made a lot of noise about exactly why I wanted a new judge to DHS!!

I really would LOVE to have their names and email addresses............</description>

		<description>I thought it was only bad when the thugs in black just legislated from the bench.  Now they insult legal immigrants discarding their country of origin and taking the oath to become American citizens that learn more about the US Constitution and how our Government is supposed to work than the average native born citizen.  Thomas Jefferson was right in fearing the tyranny of the courts.  :mad:</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why not have the naturalization ceremony in a foreign country, in that foreign country’s language, and administered by foreign officials? Hell, why not have the citizenship determination itself determined by foreign governments?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Just get rid of the naturalization ceremony entirely.  Just like a drivers license, go in, pay a fee, and walk out a citizen.  Qualification:  You&#039;re here, you&#039;re a citizen.  Just like our immigration policy today.  Qualification:  You&#039;re here, you&#039;re a precious immigrant.  Sign here for benefits.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m so tired of &lt;strong&gt;liberal&lt;/strong&gt; judges using their courtrooms to make political statements.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;d like to thank Mark Krikorian for his efforts in unmasking these unamerican, anti-American radicles in black robes. MM I&#039;d really like to know th names of these judges if the info happens to come by your way, TY.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I&#039;m going to try to find out who this judge was, though they probably won&#039;t tell me. But if his name does get out, it seems to me this is grounds for impeachment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

We are in for a terrible two years (hopefully the mid-term election will relieve some of the pain).  We should brace ourselves for more of this un-American activity.

As mentioned above, I also cannot wait to know who the spanish speaking traitor judge is.  I will donate money and time to have him removed from office.</description>

		<description>Oh, forgot to mention this (again).

In Canada, too, applicants for citizenship must show that they can speak English and/or French. Yet, most naturalized citizens don&#039;t speak either official language, because some bleeding-heart bureaucrat (often someone hailing from the same country as the applicant) makes this requirement disappear. 

To me, immigration and such is an area of national security. Any immigrant should not be hired into such positions unless they have spent at least 10 years in the country and provided ample proof that they are fully integrated (which also includes not having the broken law -- I&#039;d deport them immediately if they so much as shoplifted, by the way).

Unfortunately, too many immigration and citizenship officials today are not &quot;native born Canadians&quot;, and that&#039;s why people slip in with long criminal records, etc. But those who work in those departments don&#039;t protect Canada, but only look out for their &quot;compatriots from the old country&quot;, which is why I am totally against hiring them for such sensitive positions.

A few years ago, pollsters were trying to poll voters in an upcoming federal election in the Vancouver area. They had to give up because those &quot;citizens&quot; (yes, with the right to vote!!!) weren&#039;t able to understand the pollsters&#039; simple questions in English -- yet some bozo had granted them citizenship.

I have nothing against immigration, but it needs to be done right, and above all, the law and rules must be followed to the letter. Sadly, this not happening now, so all immigration to anywhere in the West (U.S., Canada, Britain, etc.) should be stopped completely until all those problems have been sorted out once and for all.</description>
