Gentlefolk,

I’d like to see the barriers to immigration lowered, but the requirement for naturalization include an 8th Grade English requirement. I read somewhere that that is the grade level to which the broadsheets write, so it seems to be a reasonable base line.

I guess one issue, real or imagined, is national security. Until someone is an American citizen, I can see that there could be questions raised about allegiances. OK. But assuming that that hurdle can be overcome, what really is the big deal about immigration? Too many applicants? Too many of the wrong type? Seriously, what’s the big deal about this person or that person working in the U.S.?
