Thank you.

First off the reason why this was put in by the founding fathers was to prevent the domination of this country by a foreign power

That said, AP is right, the Repukes are gonna spin this in such a way that it will take away many recent imigrants from the party

Look people while you'all discuss this reality is that many of our recent immigrants are NOT your traditional group that joined the Democrats by instinct

I know some of my fellow immigrants and THEY ARE Repybkicans, they would have been members of the elites of the nations they came from to begin with, and IDENTIFY with Republicann values, (whatever those are)

So he does have a point, and I can see how this will be spun

Moreover, anybody care to read the citizenship exam? Granted many native born muricans will NOT pass it, but READ the questions carefully ... I have been thinking about this and no I don;t want to be President, though I coudl do a beter job than the bozo in the WH... but this can be spun

Now one thing that Democrats have to realize is... the danger the founding fathers warned against is REAL, for other reasons. Not becuase I am going to be a sell out to England (their fear) but because many of my fellow new immigrants have not internalized the principles of this republic... nor do they truly undersand the meaning of enemeies borh foreign AND DOMESTIC.
