Be able to read, write, and speak basic English.
Have a basic understanding of U.S. history and government (civics).
Take an oath of allegiance to the United States.
Learn About Naturalization | USCIS |
These would be major challenges for many current US citizens.
Just a comment on the language requirement. Back in the 90s we were hiring a new GM for our installation in Hannover Germany. We hired a Dutchman, with many years experience in the USA. Where he and his family promptly, voluntarily enrolled in conversational english classes. Then several more years later he was assigned in England. And we hired him for the assignmnet in Germany. His children were 12 and 15. They were enrolled in the neighborhood German schools. When they inquored about transition of the language. They were told the kids would be put in their respective grades and there would be no allowance for language unfamiliarity. They were privately tutored for German at home. The kids said the first 3 months were absolutely terrible. Then they became more affluent. As they tried the German students helped them a lot. One year later you could not move them from the German school system.
This is I am sure is only one of many similar stories in countries around the world. It does work. No uprising. No hell raising by the parents.
Why is it not allowed in the USA?
Appeasement by a permissive, don't offend anybody, linguine spined administrators throughout the systems. Further perpetrated by local and federal cowards!
One very simple, very correctable example of what is happening in America. America!
