Congratulations to my fellow Americans. My grandfather came to this country from Estonia and became a U.S. citizen. I always wondered what the ceremony was like. This was really nice to see.

Yeap. As a Soviet Union born citizen I say "Let's Go Brandon" as I can't stand any hint of communism in any politicians. It's like throwing boiling water at us, the survivors of the totalitarian regimes. We suffered so much to come to the Land of the Free where no one would be able to muzzle us ever again just to see this 🤡 push commie ideas and lockdowns on people.

@53:59 Don't know who this lady is but when we were escaping the Massacre of Armenians in Baku, Azerbaijan January 1990 and after being locked up for 5 years we were able to escape to Moscow for an interview, a Korean embassy worker who was interviewing us denied us the refugee status by saying: "You people are trying to wiggle your way into America while true victims, the Koreans, are left behind." With that we were sent back to another 5 years of torment and lockdown until my sibling who was in America was able to find us a sponsor (as the status we received required sponsor to enter the US). We were not allowed to exist in Azerbaijan because my Mother is Armenian. Instead of coming here at the age of 15 and have opportunity to attend high school and college as a minor, I was made to come here at 21, already an adult where only job I could have with limited knowledge of English was a backbreaking warehouse job. And it did break my back as a 100 lbs 5 foot tall girl pulling 300 lbs behind me for 8 hours a day took it's toll on my health. Today I'm in my forties, crippled with back problems from my youth. I will never forget that Korean woman who was working at the Moscow's embassy in the mid 90's and how her racist remark and actions messed with my life and the life of my family. Please don't just invite anybody to work for the INS. Screen your candidates well to make sure that you weed out all bias individuals. The life of a innocent child survivor could be in their hands.
