In fact U.S. immigration / customs has a long history of testing political beliefs. The comment above makes confident statements and throws in some hyperbole, but provides no basis to believe them.
- pvg 10y agoHang on, you brought up lynchings and internment when we were talking about ACLU donations and naturalization and I am engaging in hyperbole? Also, we're not talking about immigration or customs but specifically about naturalization. Take a look at the lengthy wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_restrictions_on_naturalization_in_U.S._law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_restrictions_on_na... In its worst excesses, during wars, anarchist and red scares, I can't find anything in there remotely close to 'donated to ACLU, denied naturalization'. Someone even managed to get a favourable court ruling after admitting to being a communist. In 1943. What is your basis for believing an ACLU donation (not even membership, a mere donation) is going to ruin your chances of naturalization. 'The US government has done and continues to do bad things' is not sufficient basis.
