    8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(1)

    Looks like it gives the AG pretty broad powers to deny them . Also thought this was interesting.  Wonder what prompted this.

    any other person.

    (e)Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

    The provisions of this section and section 1159(b) of this title shall apply to persons physically present in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands or arriving in the Commonwealth (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including persons who are brought to the Commonwealth after having been interdicted in international or United States waters) only on or after January 1, 2014.

    Congrats, but now you're going to disappear on us, given that your process is over?

     

    Mrs. NB/MB obviously studied the definitive guide to passing the citizenship test:

    I agree 100%. After what we went through to get my wife and step son here I have zero tolerance for those who come here illegally. Thousands of dollars, over a year apart from my family and even having to get my Congressman involved. Not to mention the mountain of paperwork including papers we had to deal with the Philippines government to get (not an easy or quick task). And most of it I am okay with (the fees may be a little too high and processing seems inefficient). At the end of the day those processes stop criminals/terrorists and people who pose a public health risk from entering the country. If you don't want to follow our laws and submit to background checks and health screenings you don't need to be here as far as I am concerned. I also believe you should assimilate to our culture (though keeping some of the culture from your home country is also fine). You should also make an effort to learn and speak English.

     

    Congrats on the citizenship. We are preparing to apply for my wife and step sons 10 year green cards right now (more money to fork over to the government) and I believe (but I have to double check) they will be eligible to apply for citizenship one year after that.

    If i was the person being sworn in I would be embarrassed to be seen with that person. If I was there for my wife and step son and I saw that person doing that I would probably not be able to stop myself from saying something to them.

    If I am not mistaken it is 3 years from the adjustment of status green card, but many here know much more than I 

     

    I really had to fight the urge,  but a lot more standing there clutching a flag than you will ever see on a NFL sideline.

    It might be short-sighted of me, but I think ripping up her naturalization certificate for that blatant lack of respect would have been called for.  Just sayin’.

    To be fair she was with a person being sworn in. I dont care if I was in North Korea I would stand for their Anthem out of respect for those around me

    I'll cherry pick here

     

    Do you have a 401k plan, private life insurance you pay premiums on? Auto insurance? House insurance??

     

    Do you consider them entitlement programs?

     

    I doubt it since you pay for them, same as Social Security and Medicare, except in these cases there are 2 differences, you can't decide to participate and there are not rules and regulations in place to protect the sanctity of the money.

     

    It irks the sh@t out of me when people equate the rightful payout of benefits bought and paid for as an entitlement program.

    Second that motion. I have been paying social security and Medicaid 41 years. I would gladly opt out they can give me the money equal to what it would be had it been in a 500 index fund

    Yeah, SS is nowhere NEAR an entitlement program.  In fact, it’s a ripoff.  If you retire, you get to receive some of what you paid in.  If you die, and your spouse does not survive you, the gubmint keeps all the remaining monies you worked so hard for.  

    Ponzi scam

    In Texas they have so much money they don't know what to do with it

     

    They builds High Schools here that look like 4 years universities,  And then build them and wait a couple years until there are enough students to fill them.

     

    I got my property Tax bill this month, almost $10K and over $6K was for the local school district.

    And I have heard some high school football teams have faculties that rival pros
