That’s a good question. I don’t know. I know we shouldn’t have commenting amnesty, where all the illegal commenters would be allowed to officially register their user names and set up profiles with pictures and what not. That just rewards bad internet behavior. Also, if you’re going to comment on Real Amurkin™ sites, than you better speak English AND be able to be understood. This means no typing in all caps! Also, no “anchor sites”. Getting on our sites illegally and then setting up a blog, which ends up being Amurkin enough that it’s allowed to stay on our side of the firewall. I plan on setting up a volunteer organization that stays up all night drinking Mountain Dew and monitoring network traffic in order to secure our internet. Especially since Google won’t do it.

What if they overstay their visa?

I’ve consulted with several authorities on this topic. Including A Wise Latina (Now With Rich Life Experience!™) Nope. Sorry. But, as long as they go through legal channels, they can visit Real Amurkin™ websites under a H-1 Commenter’s Visa (given only to highly skilled foreign commenters).

No way, Cat. Until you prove EVERY Samoan has taken the test, I cannot take down the firewall. It’s a national security issue.

But, just sos Bixby can sleep at night, with her damn homicidal cat, I took the Damn Test and received my nice shiny US citizen certificate. Yay!

Take down the freakin’ firewall, Bix.

We can’t vote, basically.

And we have to take that damn “I want to be a good US citizen” test.

I’m torn because that photo is racist in that it plays upon the stereotype of the black man as a pimp but at the same time those threads are, in fact, rich. Like they were touched by a wise Latina SCOTUS justice.

And the good taste of a Wise Latina would put some good Port or brandy in that glass. Smooooooth.

But that still means a Guamanian or a Puerto Rican are US citizens because they are recognized territories of the US. (Commonwealth status, in the case of PR.)

What the fig is the difference between a “national” and a “citizen?” Except for bureaucratic purposes.

Actually Noodleman: From the State Department Very few persons fall within this category since, as defined by the INA, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals but only a relatively small number of persons acquire U.S. nationality without becoming U.S. citizens. Thus, Section 101(a)(22) INA states that all U.S. citizens are also nationals of the U.S. However, Section 308 INA confers U.S. nationality but not U.S. citizenship, on persons born in or having ties with "an outlying possession of the United States." The outlying possessions are defined in Section 101(A)(29) INA as American Samoa and Swains Island. In conclusion, continue building the firewall!
