Many Native Americans have confronted the immigrants and asked them on their status. This is because many Native Americans usually feel that most of them usually deny them employment by taking up some positions at very low wage pay.…

    "Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the…

    For an immigrant to be a green card holder or permanent resident they must follow several steps in order to complete the naturalization process. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; you can be a U.S. citizen by taking a Naturalization test or be born from a U.S. Citizen. To apply for Nationalization you must request a form from the host nation which you are trying to gain citizenship from. In the United States of America you must use the N-400 form (Reference 2) and be able to pass a Naturalization test. There are a few other prerequisites in order to finish this naturalization process. For example you must have been a spouse for minimum of 3 years or be in the U.S. military. (Reference 2) The second way of obtaining citizenship from America is to simply have been born from at least one U.S. American parent with valid citizenship. (Reference 1) The Pros of this process is it gives immigrants an equal opportunity to become a citizen of the United States of America. Also it protects the U.S. Citizens from potential terrorists from gaining access to come and go freely from America to whichever nation there from. The cons of the process are that it takes years to even be eligible to apply and they can be deported prior to be able to apply. Another Con is if you fail to reapply for your green card or citizenship it can result in instant deportation after notice and loss of employment within host nation and you would have to start over your whole naturalization process and can possibly be fined if you try to evade deportation. The process for citizenship discriminates against people from middle-eastern decent. Ever since the bombing of the twin towers it would be harder for anybody from middle-eastern decent to apply for citizenship without a background check and accountability for where then been the last few…

    The journey was long, with a lot of struggles, excitements, accomplishments, and more… We wanted to do everything legally and ethically. I enrolled as an international student for five years and my husband worked odd jobs tirelessly for 16-18 hours a day, 365 days a year for a long time. Despite hard work and struggles, we did not deter from the goals we had set up for us, to make our dream come true by becoming the citizens of this great country. Besides financial constraints, missed on social network or support system, however, the faith, the courage, and the commitment kept us going. There was struggle with my infant daughter’s babysitting due to financial constraints and emotional toll of leaving her with unknown people. Of all the struggles, this was the most difficult of moment of my life. I learned that sometimes we must make hard choices when we set our priorities and it requires a great deal of focus and determination. This came alive with a lesson that I learned from my father’s story. I was always inspired by my father’s stories he often told us repeatedly and…
