“...Be able to read, write, and speak basic English...”

I know it’s silly to expect our government to obey their own rules and regulations, but the above is one of the requirements for U.S. citizenship....

Seems to me that, by this law, we declare English as the official American language...

Why is it that so many who claim to have passed the citizenship test can’t speak a word of English?

Out West, many new citizens are sworn-in in Spanish.
