A New Immigration Test

The new test will take effect soon. All immigrants will have to pass this new test to become a citizen. What do you think about this, Professor? Well, I have mixed thoughts on this subject. I can see where the old test was a bit simple and a trivia test and i can also see why you would want a new test to get the new citizens involved in the process. My only question is, was this done as a slap at Hispanics? Or was this done to help cull perspective citizens? Both sides of this have excellent position when debating the situation. Kudoos!

OK, I have thought on this and I see that it could be a good thing. Why? Think about it! If the immigrants have to become more in tune with the political process they could become better at electing real representatives than we Americans. They could be better politically educated. I see that as an excellent thing if it occurs.

Come on, let's be real here. Americans are getting dumber by the generation. Look at this way Americans demand safer cars, they demand sexual predators be whacked, they demand ......they demand. But when it comes to representatives they demand really nothing more than a party affiliation. Where is the intelligence in that?

I taught a class on geography and out of 20 freshman college students 2 could find Afghanistan on a map, 0 could find Vietnam. In Middle school the students think that WWII was the US and Germany against the USSR. Apparently we are more concerned on who prays in school or who does the pledge or ........whatever, that all else is just aggravation to the teachers. If these are indications of "No Child Left Behind", then I say make the immigrants smarter and more politically savvy. Then white people will really have something to bitch about, but guess what? They are stupid and it will catch them off guard.
