Brother Hesekiel

There is NO extra stuff to send in when naturalizing early. NONE.

You can object, make this as lengthy and painful as you want. Object, write to the President, protest in the streets. I personally would just zip it and go with the flow.
I have one question for you though: if you are with your husband at home, and an intruder puts a gun at your husband's head and is ready to blow his brains all over your dinner table, would you beat him with a vase over the head or would you rather move out of the room to avoid the messyness of it?
Same thing.

A decision can NEVER be made at the interview. EVERY single N-400 application has to be reviewed and signed off by a supervising I.O.
All the interviewing I.O. can do is "recommend" for approval. Time frame for that is about 2 to5 days.

You can do whatever rocks your boat, but you'll have to disclose that ticket on the I-445 when lining up at the Oath Ceremony. An I.O. will have a look at the ticket, most likely make a smart a** comment, then sign off on it. That's it.
 

Ok so lets say I go to china, brought there as a child illegally, do you seriously  think they would ever grant any kind of amnesty proposed for those people and give them citizenship, in the millions ? Why should any nation award the same kind of prize that everyone wants when you came here through legal means. No country just makes you a citizen like that and it shouldn't be the norm. 
 
I have met people on DACA and they are fast food workers and hotel cleaners too . I hate that the left always paints them as doctors, lawyers and ivy league graduates. Also most are old now and not kids anymore. 
 
I dont deny that there are those peoples but there are literally a handful of DACA who became doctors. Mostly for the fact that most medical schools in the country need you to be on a GC or USC once you start med school . There are articles about this online. Its a lie you can quickly debunk but never hear about in politifact or other fact check websites.
 
Also what I always find interesting and ask people that have the opinion like you is what are we going to do to prevent this from happening in the future? I mean if we give those DACA people citizenship now it will be on the news in all of central and south america and they will take it as if I bring my child over they will become a citizen one day and that will somehow give me an anchor to stay there. 
Then I always get the same answer usually, why would we want to prevent that ? It shows that in the core people like you dont see these people as some kind of mistake in the system and want reprieve for them because its a unique and special circumstance, it shows me an agenda that most people on the left have to allow any person into this country whoever they are and where they come from . Its not something unique to the left here but same in europe and other countries . Certainly not China though  
 
If there is any kind of amnesty there needs to be strong and tough border security measures. Its common sense if you feel sorry for those kids that had to live in limbo all there lives then you want to change that and make it very hard for other people to repeat this. If you dont then you have maybe a political agenda behind it but sense it doesn't make.
 

Votes and power....

I lived in 6 European countries (Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy) and have visited a total of 37 (or 38?) countries so far. Adding it all up, the United States is the best country on Earth. One of the few areas where we are near the bottom of all industrial nations is health care. It's just the way it is, and it's the way it is because we have a very powerful health care lobby that controls US politics to a large extent.

If they have been in the US their whole lives they are USC's.
 
DACA is irrelevant.

President Trump is not a skilled speaker, nor is he a politician. He doesn't decide what to say based on polls. He opens his mouth and often speaks like a blue collar dude does, whenever he feels like it.
He ran his campaign on the premise to make America great again and to get a hold on illegal immigration and the abuse of legal immigration, primarily the H1-B visas.
 
America was truly great, up to about 1965, when the INA of 1965 changed the US immigration system dramatically, and not to the better.
Prior to 1965, immigrants to the United States were primarily Europeans, highly skilled craftsmen and merchants. They came from a culture similar to that of the United States, had flush toilets, and knew how to use them. Those people wanted to assimilate and contribute to the country.
 
After 1965, everyone from anywhere on the planet, ****hole countries included, could start chain immigration, import their family members to the US, and many did like there's no tomorrow. Waiting time for the Philippines for the F4 family preference category is now 24 years, and for Mexico for the F3 family preference category 18 years. It's that long because citizens of those countries abused the system.
Unfortunately, many of those fresh immigrants from ****hole countries are uneducated and/or unskilled. They compete for minimum wage jobs and thus keep wages down. They also put a strain on the social system. Some immigrants come from countries were defecating in the streets is standard, and I even witnessed this when I visited India again in 2016. Some immigrants come from a society where marrying your family friend's 12 year-old daughter is perfectly acceptable, or where killing a wife who strayed is accepted.
 
None of these immigrants benefits "America" in any way, shape, or form. Thus the President's desire to switch this country's immigration system to a merit-based one, following the lead of almost every other civilized nation. In the UK there' no chain immigration, nor is there co-sponsorship. The requirements for sponsorship are much higher. Try to immigrate to Australia or, God forbid, Japan, and see how difficult that is. Try to do it as an unskilled worker and it becomes impossible.
 
So President Trump said what many of Americans think. Saying this out loud is not what a politician would have done. But again, he's not a politician, nor did his supporters vote for him because he's just a beautiful speaker. He isn't. They voted for him because he says it like it is, no matter how politically incorrect it may be in a society that tries to be offended whenever possible.

When the President made those remarks, he (1) assumed they would not leave the room, the same way most of us have used rather graphic language on several occasions, and (2) I'm sure he didn't claim that only Africa has ****hole countries. But . . . the majority of African countries are poor . . . ****holes. The poverty there is overwhelming, and it's up to all of us, the civilized world, to help changing that. A great start would be to provide women with birth control, so that the overpopulation can be slowed down.
 
That out of the way, a country's main responsibility is to its citizens. Immigration's purpose was, and still is, to help the country and help their people. Times have changed, and now we have armies of homeless citizens sleeping in cardboard boxes, many of them veterans and even children. We have millions of people without healthcare, and we are TRILLIONS in debt, so deep that I cannot conceive that we will ever be able to pay this back. We have a huge strain on our social services. Hence, at this point in time, we need to be more selective in whom we allow in. That should be skilled people, investors, and spouses and minor children of US citizens. We should, as the draft for Comprehensive Immigration Reform outlined, get rid of the F4 category and limit F3 to 31 years or younger. That's not racist, but a means of survival.
 
Thus, a skilled person from an African, Asian, or South American country can immigrate to the US as easily as the proverbial Norwegian, but their grown children, fiance, and siblings should not. To the point, if I had a say in this, I would also put a limit on the amount of petitions an American can file, ending the practice of chain immigration.

For what purpose would you need that?
 
For all practical purposes, the Certificate of Naturalization is the birth certificate of a naturalized citizen. You were re-born as an American. From that point on, your birth certificate and all documents that pre-date the N-400 become irrelevant.
Enlighten me, and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Because previously hard working jobs like construction workers could provide a man good living for his family, or lower wage jobs went to the young and just starting out for a starting part in the job market. Now they are taken up by illegals who have also driven down the wages given to legal immigrants and citizens. So it has overall hurt the country

This view is not in American at all it is the truth. I don't want my kids to grow up having to worry about FGM or having to defecate in the streets due to lack of sanitation. This view is also why he was voted in to office because a majority of Average Americans feel that way and feel that we are at the cusp of losing our identity and what made us Great. This is all in favor of Multiculturalism, Illegals before Citizens, and being politically correct.  Notice I did not say that we don't need to stop being a melting pot. 
 
If you get out of your bubble then you would see this.
