Something to Look Forward To: Jon Stewart on the Naturalization Process

LATINA reports that Jon Stewart of The Daily Show is working on a two-hour special about the U.S. naturalization process for the History Channel called The Naturalized.  The special reportedly will be a funny yet poignant look at eight people navigating the bureaucracy of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It will also include interviews with immigrants.

I do look forward to Stewart’s take on the various naturalization requirements, such as that of “good moral character” and attachment to U.S. constititional principles (like all those law-abiding folks writing memos on torture and the like in the Bush administration?), as well as the dramatic increase in fees ostensibly designed to reduce the backlog of petitions (but which have been accompanied by a greater backlog).
