How does a person become a second rate citizen if your not a citizen to begin with??  What is second rate??

Well, I guess a second rate citizen is someone who steals your social security number, mooches off the system, does not pay taxes, traffics drugs, creates gangs, fills up our jails, burns our flag and hangs it upside down, changes our anthem to fit their needs, refuses to speak our language, badmouths our country, so rudely tries to conform our society to their culture without any regard to all the other nationalites here and then has the balls and disrespect to protest about what we have given them so far.  \n\nIf they are claiming to be second rate, then that is what I guess send rate means. \n\nJust to be fair, I am not a bigot.  I do not hate mexicans.  This is not about race, its about the bullshit they are pulling.  If they were caucasian canadians I would be just as ticked off.

You are free to go to virtually any country, and with a temporary visa get work, and a home.  The biggest stipulation is if you want to change your citizenship.  This would mean you denounce all American citizenship.  Once that is done, you cannot recover it.  You cannot re-obtain American citizenship if you voluntarily give it up.\nAssuming that you do not change citizenship, you would only be entitled to a bare minimum of the countries benefits...unfortunate, but they are not like the US and just give you stuff cause your there.

Do you mean dies in Iraq, becomes an Iraqi?  I hope not.  Or is in US service from a different country, if the US automatically makes him a citizen?  Neither is a definite.  I have heard of it happening, but I believe that the family requested he be a citizen post humusly.  It might look good for the family if they are trying for citizenship, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor.  They'd still have to jump through the bureaucratic hoops to get citizenship.  Even foreign members of our military now have to spend a lot of effort to get sworn in.  I've met people on their second enlistment (more than four years in the military) who haven't been given citizenship yet but were trying.  But then again, I've never asked when they started trying either.

You could try entering legally in the first place,and not just cheating the system.How would you make a good citizen if your first act is fraud?\nGetting a hang on proper English will get you far also.Assuming it's not your first language you are doing good.

did you meet him online? or do you actually know he doesn't want you JUST to come here? anyway legally he would have to apply to become a resident, citizen ship comes after hes been here for 7 years.

If, when you were born your father was a citizen, you may be eligible for citizenship. Ask an immigration lawyer or consular office.

the architect: first of all you don't know Tony's actual citizenship - there are LOTS of countries which allow you to have multiple citizenships, so your answer can be flushed down the toilet right away. Why do you answer if you have no idea?\n\nTony: it's unlikely you can get a second citizenship in a fast way. Then again, it depends on what you understand under 'fast'. You're not getting one overnight, no matter which one. In some countries processes can be sped up if you are related to a citizen of that country, you marry a citizen, are a refugee, or living in exile.\nHope that helped.

Being a citizen means you are not a temporary immigrant, visitor, or slave, and you have all the rights therein.

I don't feel like a second class citizen, but there certainly are laws that are designed to treat me that way.  Most of us are too busy working or carrying on our daily lives to think about it much.  But sometimes, you get a nasty reminder that an awful lot of people really don't see you as fully equal.

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

First they need to apply for a green card, which is basically permanent residency. Then you should be able to get a SSN.  But that doesn't mean you're a citizen...yet...i don't think.\n\nxo

Dual citizenship is literally maintaining citizenship in 2 different countries. You can not do that in the United States past the age of 18 for ANY reason. If you are caught, you are forced to choose.

If u are a non-immigrant, US born person, u are automatically a US citizen. If you are non-immigrant, non-US resident and a high school graduate in some other country, you may want to check out the stipulations for becoming a US citizen, which includes staying on US soil for many years. Check out on the uscis website.

If you came here with your parents, and you were only 6 years old; if, before your 18th birthday, they became citizens and they put your name on the papers at that time,  you would automatically be a citizen. However,  you must  contact the Homeland (in)Security / Immigration something or other and find out how to make your citizenship official.

To be born in the United States. Then you're automatically a citizen. Can't get much easier than that.
