Shit, I didn't realize you were so young. Back in the 90s, before 9/11, none of these disclosure requirements existed; only a customs declaration was required to enter the country, and the naturalization process consisted of paying a fee, taking a test, and swearing an oath. We used to associate this sort of disclosure requirement with petty kingdoms like Bahrain or Thailand, where there are laws against insulting the monarch and therefore a justification for thought police. We shouldn't let any of the four presidents who have slid us into fascism avoid the blame.

I was there :) And yes you're right, but also social media didn't really exist at the time as we know it now.
