[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Back in the old days, black people had to take IQ tests and provide a great deal of proof that they were proper american citizens before they were allowed to vote. I think your suggestion is eerily similar to that system, and i think it's about time we as a civilization moved past this sort of thing.

And what is your suggestion? Grant citizenship to everyone who comes looking for it because otherwise its not progressive? I am not saying people should take IQ tests. I am saying be selective about who you are giving these rights to. Turst me, the rights Americans enjoy are not god given. A lot of people worked their entire life to make sure we have those rights.

Treat that with respect.

"selective" as in dont give it to muslims because you beleive their suspicious characters with a hidden agenda to cause mass damage to america's weak points?

If that's what you think selective means, then so be it.

there already is a selection process in place via citizenship testing etc. what sort of criteria should this be augmented with?

Make it harder for people from certain countries to get a citizenship. Make it easier for people from Scandinavia to gain a citizenship.

If the idea behind America is to get the best and brightest into this country, that would be a good way of going about it.
