Should US citizens living abroad be fired from their jobs too? Should I not be permitted to get a job anywhere but the US? Seems kind of silly since people work all around the world regardless of their nationality.

I work with a lot of non-US citizens. They are for the most part wonderful people.

… and you are a BASEBALL fan? Doesn’t leave you too many teams (or any) to root for if your “rule” goes into place.

I am an immigrant to this country (granted from Canada which I realize to many barely even counts) but it is a costly and time-consuming process. If more natural born Americans understood the struggles you go through to be able to be a part of this great country they wouldn’t make asinine comments such as yours.

Bureaucracies have their reasons. Sometimes, they aren’t good reasons.

Congratulations, Orlando.

I remember watching a Reds game where he was on the DL but he was the dugout ballboy for the game. He had a non-flap helmet on and collected bats and delivered baseballs to the umpire. Everyone loves Olrando Cabrera.

Spurred on this post, I decided to do a quick 100-question U.S. citizenship sample test.

I got 94 out of 100. I’m not sure if I should feel good about that.

Orlando Cabrera is one of my favorite baseball players. I think he should be a manager someday. Every team he’s on wins the division.
