IMMIGRATION - "THE PATH TO CITIZENSHIP"

 

NBC - MEET THE PRESS

 

After watching all four mainstream Sunday morning TV shows (including FOX), it looks like most of the participants agree on the need to a gradual "path to citizenship" may be the solution to the immigration problem, rather than an INSTANT LOTTERY for 11 million people who entered the country illegally. 

Making the United States citizenship an INSTANT LOTTERY for eleven million people would be an insult for millions of immigrants who came here legally, including "yours truly" who came to the United States, almost forty years ago, and earned the right to citizenship.

Dreaming to be an American, waiting in line for a GREEN CARD in a foreign country, getting it, coming to America, finding a job, working hard and paying taxes, and after 5 years taking that citizenship exam and interview; and finally getting that grand prize called NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATE is "the path to citizenship." Citizenship is America's greatest gift for those who were not fortunate enough to be born here.  Citizenship should be earned and revered.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.
