Scene: Two native Americans of the Wampanoag People, who had lived on the Eastern coast of America for about10,000 years before the Europeans arrived, are speaking about a ship landing in their Massachusetts harbor in 1620.

Native American number 1, “There goes the neighborhood!”

Native American number 2, “With any luck they’ll like to gamble!”

Immigration has been the lifeblood of this country since before its inception as a nation. Throughout our history, people from foreign lands have made their way to our borders for a chance at The American Dream which includes pumpkin spice coffee.

Policies change through the years and in its outreach to the people who ‘newly people’ our country, Washington has decided to make the citizenship test longer and much harder to pass.

Do they not want people to arrive, get legal, and contribute to the national economy? Maybe not right now because they have nearly doubled naturalization fees as well.

There’s now a time limit for the test. If you can complete it in less than an hour, you’ll get to bring the relative of your choice. Remember, this is satire.

As a service to the public, we have gotten an advance copy of the new questions.

Some questions were gathered to form a basic knowledge of American culture through the years with the acknowledgement that most citizens are glued to their TV screens all day long and had a hard time passing basic geography.
