In anticipation of John Miller’s prediction coming true — as it surely will — let us note how deeply problematic this complaint is. If the citizenship test is too hard, how can that be reconciled with the argument made by countless liberals that a wall on the border won’t work because nothing can stop people desperate to build a better life for themselves? If a wall, armed border guards, deadly terrain and climate can’t stop these people, why should we think a multiple choice test (for which it is quite easy to study) will form some sort of cruel and insurmountable barrier? Why, that almost sounds racist to me.
