This was promised by someone who doesn’t know the process for naturalization to American citizenship...

its no magic wand event...or Make a Wish...or Mexican DREAM come true...

one glaring thing missing would be the Alien Registration Card with its number...

that number moves to the upper right hand corner of the naturalization document..AKA green card...(it used to be green)

Without it there is no citizenship...that number starts when you first immigrate and follows you for the rest of your life..its on all documents ...

an illegal alien doesn’t have an Alien Registration Card with the vital number...

the naturalization document also has its own number ...its on the upper left hand corner and its called a “Petition No”...the January I became a citizen my number was in the 30,000 area..but that was 40 years ago...

Petition as in its not an automatic occurrence...you have to petition as in apply..

You have to have a green card with that necessary number...

You go for an interview where every document pertaining to you, from the ones gathered together by the American Embassy/Consulate back in your own country BEFORE you entered the US and the ones filled in since you have arrived are present and you go through them with the immigration official to make sure they are still valid and correct...

Illegal aliens don’t have any of those documents..

then you are given a test to make sure you can speak, read and write English...

Then you are asked several oral questions on American government etc...

Your behavior while you have ben in the US is examined any police records or crimes ??? Have you obeyed the rules for immigrants ??? The INS/ICE have already checked all that ...

Your current address which is annotated on the naturalization document better be the one the INS already have on file...

Then you are given a date about a month later when there will be a naturalization ceremony...Mine was at a US District Court ...

The words on the naturalization document include “had in all other respects complied with the applicable provisions of such naturalization laws, and was entitled to be admitted into citizenship, thereupon ordered that such person be and (s/he) was admitted as a citizen of the United States of America...”

so where would illegal aliens fit into those words ???

Ya notice that while I was “entitled” to become an American citizen due to fulfilling ALL the requirements/provisions, citizenship is not a “right”..

I had to “earn’ it...I had to be the type of person qualified through my behavior, employment record, etc to benefit the US in order to immigrate and eventually become a citizen...

I had to swear that I understood the requirements and what was expected of me..the promises were all on my side...the nation of the United States of America promised me nothing other than they would let me in because I qualified..

That’s what immigration is..nobody has a “right” to go to another country to stay..nobody has a right to even visit here...otherwise we couldn’t keep anybody out..

That’s why it is so important to weed out the ones who really aren’t “refugees”

and that’s why this wont work..

ILLEGAL ALIENS are not IMMIGRANTS...
