It should be mandatory in order to prove your sincerety. Assimilate or get lost... You wanna have a better life ??? PROVE IT !!!!! What a great idea.... Solves so many problems simply !!! Those sincere should be afforded the express lane( citizenship ) for their willingness to support their new home. No more than right !!! Those that disappear when the announcement is made, well, we pretty much know where they are coming from...Forget the wall, we would no longer need it.....

All immigrants should have the right to become legal citizens no matter how poor or uneducated they are, that's how most of our family members came here.

i think he should let them be.  how did we all get in.  those nations that first came to america didn't have any paperwork.  this is the land of the free, including the free to enter.  everyone should be able to do as they please, within reason.

No problem at all. Legal immigrants are always welcome to be part of our society. It's those illegal ones who came here unlawfully sucking off our welfare money, tax money and benefits. And those who came here to start gang activities, commit heinous crimes that need to be dealt with accordingly.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you should be able to.

if they want to serve in our army to be citizens, come on and join\n\nMaybe for 3 years in the service, you can be a citizen, i like that, you will pay your debts to your new country and get familiar with american cultures

They should all become legal American citizens. If you're talking about an ILLEGAL immigrant, they need to get the hell out of our country.

Absolutely! All immigrants should learn the local language and customs and obey their new country's laws. What people do in their own homes is their own business, but "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"

Great idea if they go fight for us and live they get citizenship I LIKE IT latinos or not any illegal should be sent to war or deported if they want to get in the country they should do it the legal way

I think they should be sent back and come back here LEGALLY.. it's not that hard... unless you are a criminal. Then you don't belong here anyways.

im American and i wouldn't have a problem with you getting citizenship because you are doing it the legal way, you are literate and already have experience in a job, and you know what kind of job you are looking for.i would rather see more of you coming to America than people who suck up social security when actual citizens need it. ofcourse this is my opinion only.

NO.\nOnce they become citizens ,however, they can sponsor you under the family immigration class to get your permanent residency.

yes in legal terms. if you lived here for over 10 yrs you should consider applying for citizenship so you can vote.

Yes, it should be earned, I mean citizenship is a matter of luck, I wish I could be born in Sweden or something like that, but I didn't!!! and that is nobody's fault, but just because of that luck I have totally different opportunities in life and fight harder for what I want, it is much more difficult for a person from Mexico to have a good life,than somebody from Iceland, Sweden, U.S. or any of those countries\n\nDefinitely should be earned and be a way to get it legally if somebody works hard (like in Canada, god bless that country!). It is amazing that the U.S. only promotes illegal immigration, if I would like to go work there and live decently I won't be able to!!!, However Canada promotes prepared people to bring their skills there, I'd prefer Canada as it is similar to the U.S. but more immigration friendly!\n\nWhen I was in the U.S. working I was so impresed how many people where complaining about the U.S. and everything or saying their jobs were not good enough or else, if you are not happy there go to a South American country and you'll see how things are there!!

legal residents have the right to get their citizenship after being a legal resident for 5 years.  i personally do not get mad if they choose not to become a US citizen.  what makes me mad is when they don't assimilate and speak spanish all the time.

You are born a citizen, but you can change it later.
