Whoops! USCIS Tweets Wrong Date For Declaration of Independence

Earlier today, the USCIS Español tweeted:

Of course, that’s not quite right. The answer should be 1776.

It was a simple typo. “Human error” that the USCIS changed within an hour.

Unfortunately for the USCIS, conservative immigration hardliner Mark Krikorian noticed the typo before the government did. And he made a veritable mountain of the the molehill, stating: “It’s a disturbing sign of the lack of familiarity with American history itself.”

Or, you know, it’s the sign of a careless typist. One or the other.
