Showing Original Post only (View all)My wife became a citizen yesterday [View all]
In a lovely ceremony in a local Junior High Gymnasium.
32 people from 20 countries from Japan to Cote De Ivoire, South Africa to Venezuela became our newest Americans, it was pretty moving TBH
High lights included an A1C from South Korea say "I came to love America as an exchange student, and today i swore my second oath, my first was my enlistment"
And I was tickled when my wife told the crowd that she can't wait to vote this November.

Our kids came to the ceremony - They are both adults born in the US so no issue there

Sorry to sound a sour note, but how many of those would our Idiot-In-Chief regard as "s***holes" ?
