I worked on a government project once and they had the requirement that anyone working on the project had to be an American citizen. You could be naturalized, but you had to be a citizen. And this was a pretty unimportant project for a state government.

That’s how politics works from the inside, at least for Democrats in America. Everyone on here so prickly lately
