We need to require them upfront in order to prevent outbreaks of contagious diseases. The English requirement is weak. It is weaker than current naturalization requirements. Under current law. an immigrant has to demonstrate an understanding of the English language and a knowledge of the fundamentals of our history and government. Under this compromise. an alien only has to prove that they are pursuing a course of study in English. history. and U.S. Government. Anybody could make that claim. The compromise would require the Department of Homeland Security to do a background check on the illegal aliens in the United States. In fact. this compromise has placed a time limit on our Federal agents. They have 90 days to complete them.
