The ability to speak English is no longer a requirement of
citizenship, unfortunately. There's even a move afoot to gut the oath of
citizenship so that one doesn't have to bear arms or swear true
allegiance to the country. Fortunately that one seems to have been
nipped in the bud, but the bureaucrats who came up with it are still
mining away in the system.
