Fox News Chief Correspondent: Thankful to be naturalized American citizen
Fox ^ | 12/19/14 | Jonathan Hunt

Editor's note: Fox News Chief Correspondent Jonathan Hunt became a naturalized U.S. citizen on November 21, 2014.

It was October 1995, and I'd been in the U.S. for little more than a month. I sat back in my seat on a flight from Los Angeles to Washington (which was my new home), and thought about what I'd just witnessed: my first major assignment as U.S. correspondent for Sky News was to cover the end of O.J. Simpson's murder trial.

And this country I now found myself exploring, dissecting and trying to understand and interpret for my British audience appeared to be divided purely along racial grounds. The divide was palpable, and to me it seemed entrenched and virulent.

So glad you did, FRiend! And I’m quite angry that the privilege is being diluted, minute by minute. (well, for “certain” people)

That was sweet. Glad he’s here.

Piers Morgan - glad he’s afraid of guns. : ) Did he leave America like he promised to do when he lost the battle of conquering the second amendment?

A long time friend of mine, a native born Swede, just went through the same ceremony in August of this year and I so wish I had gone to witness it. It required driving 2 hours, but would have been worth it. She and her husband have spent years and a lot of energy for her to earn the privilege to call herself an American and I am very proud of her.

I’m just your native-born, garden variety xenophobe.
