"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

All they did was make it harder for immigrants to get expedited citizenship and a commission. They simply made it so that enlistees have to wait until they complete the background check that was already mandatory, instead of being able to naturalize first. I don't see how this would help much with security, since before, if they didn't pass the background check, their citizenship and service contract would be revoked anyway.

That and block them for the time being from joining the guard or reserves.
