"...some of the new “citizens” required an interpreter to translate the oath so they could understand the proceedings.
What did she think about that?She and I agreed that if you cannot understand the oath of citizenship, maybe you are not ready to become a citizen.
And she was surprised because demonstrating competency in English was part of her process.
Then I mentioned another oddity from the proceeding: at the start of the morning, before anything else happened, a woman from the League of Women Voters handed out voter registration forms.
...My friend sent me a text from the front asking, “How can these people be here?”
He thought it was fine to hand out the form but thought it was his responsibility to fill it out and get it processed.
After all, he is now a citizen of the United States of America.
He told me afterwards, “If I cannot do this on my own, I should not be voting!”...
