I don't think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.

The residency I'm pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.

I'm curious to see if this new law will get ratified.

thanks!

that's the article I was originally referencing and then referenced again.

did you understand that article differently than how i've summarized it?

Thanks, I meant intentional deportations of US citizens.

"To be clear, I’m not dunking on Bernie or AOC."

Not for lack of trying. You failed in mischaracterizing and insulting Sanders because I proved how baseless each of your accusations and assumptions are here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35914985/17933545

"Their intentions might be in the right place."

There's no "might" about it, as I pointed out in the same comment.

"I’m saying the system will only allow so much muckraking."

And rivers are only so wide. Profound.

"The ruling class ultimately determines who is on your ballot in the first place."

Realizing your earlier error("...by design"), you are now just less accurately paraphrasing my prior comment:

"the design was for anyone to be able to enter politics in the US. At a local level, this is still largely possible.

Corporate backing determining higher-level political outcome is a recent consequence of Citizens United, the ruling by the US Supreme Court that allowed unlimited political funding by the wealthy. That ruling is a corruption of the US political process, not “by design”."

Thanks for backtracking, but pretending you were saying something different than you were before is disingenuous and irritating.

You were wrong about the US electoral process, or charitably, you misunderstood and mischaracterized it.

Your diagram is simplistic and fundamentally flawed.

You made up blatantly false and consistently vague accusations about Sanders and the US electoral system at large.

I corrected you on these points in earlier comments.

That's that.

got it.

as far as I'm aware, it's just the "great" part that changed. it's not so much that Italian immigration laws have become overly restrictive as they were so broad before as to proving Italian heritage.

The current Italian citizenship restrictions are still a great deal easier than most other countries.

basically, as long as you have a parent or grandparent who is an Italian citizen or became one, you can become an Italian citizen also by filling out a form.

i was pretty lazy about it, I'd like to see the results of other breadsperiments.

oh shoot I just thought they got rid of the "great" part and you can still become a citizen if you have italian grandparents, what are the new restrictions?

Italy and Ireland were like the last two countries that you could claim citizenship through great-grandparents, but I think Italy just ended it this year.

thanks for posting this, it's the first I've heard of maybe a US citizen being deported.

I'm looking into related posts to find corroboration and explanation for the term "parole" used here.

not with regard to this specific situation, since white people have been deported or turned away due to their visa status, but under this administration anyone not white should feel way more targeted than they might be under other administrations.

update: Blue sky users are apparently receiving threatening letters using the phrase their "parole is terminated" despite being us citizens; I can't confirm anything, but I'm looking into it now.

so far naturalized citizens are not being harassed or detained.

everyone i've heard about being turned away or deported so far has a green card, visa or is in the US illegally.

it's certainly a terrible situation and a slippery slope, but as far as I'm aware naturalized citizens are not facing that treatment yet.

pretty rough and crumbly and crappy.

it was impossible with the kitchen tools I had on hand to grind it into a fine enough flour to my liking, I just had a generic blender, but my whole reasoning for the experiment was "i bet I could make bread out of bread."

and it was moderately successful in that regard. what emerged was properly identified as bread.

although I chucked most of the loaf in the trash because that was its flavor profile.

i did this! yes.
