One must be sponsored in by a relative who is a US citizen and that person must show sufficient income to support you.  Then you must spend five years before taking a test to become a US citizen.\n\nBut, mostly, the economic answer is that the work available to illegal immigrants is not available to lawful citizens.  It is low-paying, without benefits, long hours and frequently dangerous to your health.  It is illegal to use and pay workers in the manner than illegal aliens are used.  And that's why they're used - they have no other options and they can't complain to the government.  You can curtail illegal imigration if you'd like, but you can't get your produce picked, your slaughterhouses cleaned or your drywall installed for four times the price you pay now.

The truth to this question is that it depends on which state your "Naturalization" (becoming a US citizen) is processed.  Some states required a test, some don't. Some are simple (speak English, carry simple, everyday conversations), and some are harder (for me to become a citizen in Virginia, I had to answer questions like: "Who's the 15th President of the US", "Name the 52 states (50 states, two territories) of the US in alphabetical order).\nHowever, because after taking the test, I had to wait two years for the process, I moved in that time to New Orleans. I finally went to the final swear-in ceremony (for citizenship) in New Orleans, there were people there (also for the swear-in) who were using translators. Meaning that someone else was speaking the words for them (because they couldn't speak English!) when it was time to say: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.".

I know that there is an unusual volume of paper being processed as people who are qualified to become citizens become citizens and as others try to legalize their status.  \n\nI don't know specifically about naturalization papers.  However, typically you can get certified records within a couple of weeks.  However, things may be delayed, right now.

There is a process (and eligibility requirements) for becoming a US citizen. Check out the Immigration and Naturalization web site.\n\nCounty web sites advertise jobs available in their departments, including police. Some counties may not keep their web sites up to date in careers. In some counties, Police departments may have their web sites where you can find this info.

People become American citizens automatically either by being born in America or to an American citizen (either mother or father). People not born citizens can also naturalize through a fairly lengthy process.\n\nThe president is required to be a natural citizen (aka born in America or to American citizens), but for all other offices, the person must merely be a citizen, no matter how they became that way.

What benefits are you referring to ? You should specify.\n\nAs a citizen you can now vote and get a US passport, everything else you can do a legal alien. \n\nContrary to what many people believe, you don't need to be a US  citizen to get social security benefits ,however, you must meet the same requirements as a US citizen (be of retirement age and work for at least 10 years) legally of course.

You are very right.\n\nThey also require 3 things to be considered for citizenship:\n1) You must be able to speak Spanish.\n2) You must know Mexican history.\n3) Be living with a Mexican citizen.\n\nThey live by do as I say, not as I do.

Well this is no small thing dude.Immigration is not such a simple process that you will be given Citizenship in a jiffy.First you have to go to the US on a visitors visa.Find employment there and get a work permit.Then after many years if your record is clean you will be given a Greencard.Some years after the same you will be given citizenship and therefore the right to vote.Hence this is a long process which will take years.

I also apologize for the retarded racist that was the first to "answer" your question.\n\nThere is a legal way for you to become a US citizen, which is by naturalization.  I assume that you got your SSN when you were very young, so you have proof that you've been living here for some time now.  Just go to ins.gov, and you have a lot of information to choose from.  Good Luck, and ignore the ignorants that are only on yahoo to get points.\n\n\nThis is for      howthehellsh...\n\nIf you had any brains at all (doubt it) you would know that up until about 15 years ago, the Social Security Administration would give out Social Security Numbers to anyone who would apply.  Can you please look for info before you open your big mouth and look like and @SS?
