"The information is checked against a government database of known terrorists and criminals. "
How do they get these people to register on the database so they can be checked off against???;)

Best reason I've had to start the citizenship process off so far!

What a waste of tax money :thumbdown:

Maybe from sources like INTERPOL and the like. It's not like terrorists and criminals would willingly register on such databases.

You obviously don't know Octang :). Octang stands ready to defend our freedoms and go down in a blaze of gunfire if required to protect you and I from an oppressive government!

And he'd be exercising his constitutional right, if not infact his constiutional obligation, to do so.

And watch for a sudden spike in new Citizenship applications once word of this expansion gets out.

I just got my citizenship this week. The motivation was ... not having to deal with the green card stuff! (and I wanted to vote for Obama, but missed that opportunity by a hair). 4 months, start to finish. Piece of cake!

They don't have a secret file on me to review! :)

Actually, the story I heard is, the fee went up so fewer people are applying. $600 I believe.

heh.. I lived up in Bellingham at one time and the border out in the country is a little shallow ditch. We used to greatly amuse ourselves by standing with one foot on either side, or jumping across and back, just being silly.

There is one legitimate border crossing station where the Canadians are supposed to stop and phone in their entry from an unmanned booth (they call the agents down the road at another crossing); I always thought that was silly.

And then there's the border town, forget the name, where the USG is 'stealing' land from US property owners to expand their 'border zone'. They're making some lady tear down the little concrete wall she put up to keep her doggities in her yard. It's also got exciting International Incident written all over it...

As a green card holder you are a 'foreigner' with the right to live and work in the US.

I took that boat, then we rode some horses to a little town where someone cooked us the most amazing taquitos and someone else got very upset with us when we wouldn't buy any drugs from them.

I was in the middle of adjusting status and didn't yet have my Advance Parole so it was quite a novelty to leave the country.
