Immigration_And_Citizenship

Immigration And Citizenship Every person who lives in America is either an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant. Though we may not consider it, it is a fact that everyone here has come from some other place. It is estimated that over sixty million people have immigrated to America and it is this immigration that has built America into a "melting pot." America is a country thriving with varies ethnic, cultural, religious, and economic identities. It is this "melting pot" that makes America so unique and cherished by those who live here. On the other hand there are unpleasant aspects of immigration, which include the hardships faced in order to reach America and the struggle to gain acceptance. Through work brokers, many immigrants signed contracts guaranteeing that they would work for a certain amount of years in exchange for paying their way to America. These arrangements enabled thousands to have a chance at a better life in America, but it did not make them citizens of America because they were neither born nor naturalized – which are the only sources of citizenship according to the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution – within the country’s america, states, united, citizenship, born, naturalized, immigration, within, person, parents, controversies, citizens, citizen, case, amendment, wong, resided, over, must, kim, jurisdiction, immigrants, fourteenth, court, ark, work, through, supreme, pot, one, naturalization, melting, least, immigrant
