So much for "building" a better life.

And they used to give the citizenship test in only one language, English.
You didn't learn it you could understand much less pass the test. People used to struggle to learn English in order to pass the test. Now they give the test in over 30 languages no English neccesary.
I remember when I went to my mother in laws ceremony they were all waving the little flags they got and TRYING to sing the Natl Anthem for the event and all I could see and hear were people who had no idea what they were saying or why? Just wave the flag and get your cert is all it was to them. I didn't really see much joy in people's eyes either.
Sad place we've become....
