Given that there is no official U.S. language it makes no sense that knowing one specific language would be a requirement for citizenship.

There's also no requirement for citizens to obtain a photo ID. I'd wager that would be a 4th Amendment violation.

I reckon I was thinking of a photo ID to vote as well as the other things for which one must produce a photo ID; e.g., booze, checks, DL, CHL, job, passport, etc., etc.

As far as English is concerned, I speak no other language; ergo, English is my official language.
