NSG Senate Coffee Shop: We don't serve decaf

[Arglorand]

We should grant all of Nicaragua a temporary residence permit in Calaverde, give them all citizenship through legislative grant and then invade them on context of liberating Calaverdean citizens

Other than that, I still oppose any kind of citizenship test for naturalisation.

Agreed.

On both suggestions.

[Arkolon]

Can I have the code for bill formats?

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

I'm against having a nationality test as it treats immigrants unfairly since they have to pass a test natural-born citizens don't. Equality, people.

[The Nihilistic view]

Well I agree with the test and anybody that is born here and goes to school here will learn at least as much as what would be in any such test. So if anything it's unfair on those born here that their test is up to 14 years of education when immigrants can take a short test for the same rights.

Because people born to citizenship and educated in that country always know a lot about their nation and its history. Enough so to pass their county's citizenship test.

Oh wait...

I'm against restrictions on not letting foreigners vote in elections as it treats foreigners unfairly since they can't vote but citizens can.

Equality isn't absolute.

I'm against restrictions on not letting foreigners vote in elections as it treats foreigners unfairly since they can't vote but citizens can.

That restriction is reasonable since the foreigners can vote in their own country (unless it's a dictatorship). However, the core argument for nationality tests is that Calaverdeans need to know about Calaverde, but if native citizens don't have to take the test, then it's automatically unfair. Inevitably threw will be situations (like in the US) where immigrants actually know about their country while stupid natural-born citizens don't. I would support the nationality test if every citizen had to take it, because just for immigrants is unfair.

That restriction is reasonable since the foreigners can vote in their own country (unless it's a dictatorship).

And the foreigners applying for Calaverdean citizenship also enjoy automatic citizenship from their native country without examination even though foreigners may not.

However, the core argument for nationality tests is that Calaverdeans need to know about Calaverde, but if native citizens don't have to take the test, then it's automatically unfair.

Native Calaverdeans have to attend 11+ years of compulsory education and learn everything in the citizenship quiz and countless more things.

How is that unfair for foreigners, who can get citizenship by waiting a handful of years and taking a single test?

Inevitably threw will be situations (like in the US) where immigrants actually know about their country while stupid natural-born citizens don't. I would support the nationality test if every citizen had to take it, because just for immigrants is unfair.

I would support green police cars if they were blue.

What's the point in saying "I would support if (x)", if (x) is physically impossible?

[Sebastianbourg]

I don't understand the logic behind the unfairness argument. The supposed equality is not absolute and quite frankly absolute equality is undesirable.

I'm against having a nationality test as it treats immigrants unfairly since they have to pass a test natural-born citizens don't. Equality, people.

By this argument we should just have open borders.

The test is not to enforce knowledge of the country into their brains, it is to ensure they have a proper understanding of how the country works so they can integrate.
