The term "private citizen" usually refers to a person acting as an individual, rather than acting on behalf of some corporation or govt agency.\n\nAs far as the benefits of citizenship, that is a huge broad question, and varies depending on state/province or country.

It depends on how you become a citizen. Most citizens are born citizens, which happens to anyone born in the United States or US territory, unless they are born to a foreign diplomat and to anyone born to a US citizen as long as the parents lived in the US at some point.\n\nTo naturalize as a citizen, you must first somehow become a permanent resident, which can happen a large number of ways. You must then remain in the United States aside from short vacations for a particular number of years, depending on the basis for your permanent residence, apply for citizenship, and take a test.

I'd start with a compelling quote from the Declaration of Independence.  I'd describe the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.  You might want to include some statistics from the Census Bureau and maybe figure out how many people living in the US are citizens.  The links below may get you started.\n-MM

You could commit a crime in another country and then serve time as a "guest" of that country.\nBut seriously, many countries give away citizenship in much the same way we do in America. Typically those seeking citizenship come from economically depressed, or politically unstable "3rd world" countries. Americans can travel freely throughout most of the world because there is little concern that we will remain as a burden upon their social system.  There are plenty of job opportunities in other countries that are open to Americans. Once there, you can apply for citizenship. Of course you can apply at any foreign Embassy or Consulate here in the USA... but without "loads of cash" it would be more honorable of you to have gainful employment in that country first. Do an Internet search for jobs abroad.

When you own a piece of property it becomes private property.  You still have to pay taxes and follow the laws of the federal, state and local governments.  [for example, murder is still against the law.]

Hopefully, they become tax paying, income earning citizens who contribute to the city.  On the flip side, they can also become a drain on the city's resources by using social services, health care or education to which they don't contribute by paying taxes.

If you decide to become a citizen, you will have plenty of time to learn and make up your mind. They are political groups, the republicans tend to favor big government spending going into their own pockets. The Democrats are pretty much for the same thing but not as good at it, and they do throw the voters a bone now and then.

Right now our laws do not allow a naturalized citizen to become president.  However you can become any other elected official.  Some senators and governors are immigrants and have emmense power and influence within the government.\n\nGood luck on your citizenship process and don't give up.  It took my friend 10 years before he finally became a citizen.  But it is worth it,  you have better job opportunities and more compreshensive rights as a citizen.

Anyone, foreign citizen or otherwise, can own property in the US. Permanent residency allows you to buy and permanently live in a house in the US. It does not allow you to receive any benefits that are given only to citizens, meaning you cannot get social security or vote, and likely hold political office, though that may depend on the office. To receive those rights, you must become a naturalized citizen.

Are you legally in the country? Citizenship is not required to own property. If you are legally able to work, and have qualified for a mortgage, you can buy a house.
