I'll see you at the polls.
Pathetic!
Perhaps you should pick up one of those history books John. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to celebrate America's Centennial... 100 years AFTER our country was founded. And those words are from Emma Lazarus' poem "Then New Colossus" which she wrote in 1883 and weren't engraved on a bronze plaque and mounted on the statue until 1903. In any event, a working knowledge of the English language is required for most people applying for citizenship through naturalization... although exceptions were introduced in 1990 for older applicants and for those with certain disabilities. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be a citizen before you can vote. But then again, if you're not required to prove it...
I refuse to argue with either one of you on this issue. I'm 100% sure I know what principles this country was founded on & exactly what "The Great American Melting Pot" is all about. I'm not talking about who can & can't vote. I'm talking about who is & is not welcome to come into this country...
Your statement: "your family would probably still be somewhere in Leningrad". Since you said "still" I really had no choice but to assume you were implying a present tense condition. "I'm not talking about who can & can't vote." - Then what was your point in posting on an article about voter registration, in response to a post by robkoz that wasn't talking about who is or isn't welcome into this country?
"if you're going in & getting a voter registration form, chances are you are already a citizen in this country"... or you're being signed up by Acorn.
