Sign my petition? (Donald Trump)

Immigrants make America great. Donald Trump makes America small, petty, and mean.

I challenge Donald Trump to take the U.S. naturalization test—will you join me?

Dear MoveOn member,

Donald Trump announced Monday that, if elected president, he would enact an extreme "vetting" test to determine if the values of those seeking to enter the U.S. are so-called American values.¹ He claims his test would expose those who have "hostile attitudes" towards America. Yet we know that his proposal is fueled by racism and xenophobia. 

Will you join me in challenging Donald Trump to take the current naturalization test immigrants must pass to become U.S. citizens before he tries advocate for any more hateful laws?

I challenge you, Donald Trump, to take the naturalization test immigrants to this nation must take to gain American citizenship. This test is just one part of the process immigrants undergo to become citizens, and you would almost certainly fail that test given your general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles, and functioning of our government.

Immigrants make America great. You make America small, petty, and mean.

Our country already has a test immigrants take when they apply for citizenship—one that tests their knowledge of American history and civics. So, before Trump gets to propose a new, xenophobic test, I challenge him to take the one that already exists.

I believe Trump would almost certainly fail this test, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles, and functioning of our government. His entire political career—beginning with his absurd and dangerous campaign to discredit President Obama—has been built around alienating other Americans.

The fact is, Donald Trump is nothing more than a spoiled, unpatriotic drain on society who has earned nothing and helped no one.
