September 1, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Prior to 1991, if you applied for US citizenship, you had to take the test, but you also had to survive something called a neighborhood investigation. Agents would talk with friends, family, and neighbors to find out if you were, in fact, a worthy addition to the melting pot. Admission was never a given for … Read more
