Becoming an American citizen is too difficult
If a person was born in the United States of America, then that person is citizen of the United States. But what if the person was born in another country? How can the person become citizen of the Unites States? There is only two ways how to become an
American citizen, by law or by birth. For somebody is easy and for somebody else, an impossible dream. Most often the legal way how to become an American citizen is to go through long process which costs money and effort to happen, and in the end there is no guarantee. Because this process is too difficult for some, there is a huge amount of illegal crossing of the border. …show more content…
But is the United States the only country in the world that has this kind of security or is there another country like the United States?
There are only two ways to become citizen of the United States: by law or by birth. If a person is citizen by birth, no action on that persons part is generally required. If a person is not a citizen of the Unites States then that person may seek to become one by naturalization, an administrative process that requires that person to take some action and which is strictly governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act

That person may not become a naturalized citizen of the United States unless the person: 1) Is at least 18 years old and a lawful permanent resident ("green card" holder); 2) Has the ability to read, write, speak, and understand simple words and phrases in English; 3) Are attached to, and can support, the principles of the United

United States citizenship after five years of stay in United States. To get a green card, one must spend $6,485, which is three times more than what it cost to become a citizen of the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada together. That is too expensive and that does not guarantee citizenship. It takes 6-12 months to get the green card and that person can live, work and study in United States at least for 10 years. If a person wants to work in the United States temporarily, under immigration law, that person need a specific visa based on the purpose of travel and type of work the person will be doing, which is temporary work visa. And to get it, it cost $325, which is twenty times less than what a person has to pay for a green card and basically that person
