Hello.  I must take exception to what you read on the State Department website.  Either it's wrong or you misread it.  I say that because this land is full of non-citizens (here legally) who have jobs, and I know some of them.  Certainly you must have a work permit or work visa, but you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to work here.  Citizenship, by the way, takes several years to earn.\n\nSomebody here has offerred some other information links.  I hope you can find better information.  Good luck, and I hope you can reach your goal of coming to the U.S.!

Tell them to contact the U.S. Embassy in the local area they're in now. That is partly why the U.S. maintains embassies around the world. To help out U.S. citizens who need help in other countries. If they really are Americans they don't need you to buy a ticket for them. They might have to repay the government for the ticket on return to the States but what to they expect, a free ride? Besides, you'd have to buy the ticket in your name and on your passport. When they get to the U.S.A. and go through customs, they are going to need a passport. Without one they don't enter the country and guess who's going to get questioned by customs about the ticket used?

Thank you for asking.  If you find your closest American Embassy they should be able to supply you with all the information you need.  Additionally, do a Google search for "American Citizenship Requirements".

Contact Mexican and US immigration. There is a way.

Try applying for a visa or a Green card at an American embassy or consulate. Then you can apply for citizenship, in which you will have to pass a test.

You may be an American citizen anywhere in the world.  \n\nHowever, what you are asking for is probably ILLEGAL.  That's why the consulate won't help her.  Neither will I.

I doubt seriously if everyone in your country could rapidly find the area of my country where I live.  It is easy to make the kind of blanket statement you just made and make Westerner's seem evil in their ignorance. \n\nThe United States is a fairly large country and pretty hard to miss on the globe!  It would take effort to over look us.\n\nWe have a huge history which we are required to be familiar with before we graduate from school and I would dare say that few know a lot about each of the states in our own country.  Fifty states with thousands of towns and cities in most of them. There is also massive government in Washington that we have to have some idea about too.  \n\nWe do try to educate our children about the countries beyond our borders but we think it a higher priority to know our own government.\n\nOur country accepts people of all faiths and all cultures we welcome them here and we have many diverse cultural enclaves in each of our cities and villages.  \n\nDo you really think you know us if all you see about us is what is on television in our newspapers and in movies?  I have been a citizen of the United States for nearly 60 years and I don't know it all nor do I have hope of doing so.\n\nI have also traveled and lived in several other countries and met people of other cultures. I enjoyed getting to know them and their ways.  It was my pleasure that my work made it possible for me to live for a time usually two to three years in these wonderful places.  I have a difficult time with language but have managed to make myself understood in a few.  \n\nI find it unacceptable when anyone from anywhere makes a blanket statement about an entire population of another country or there own. \n\nIf you are looking for a reason to dislike Westerners as a whole you can find them by making general statements like the one you made.  \n\nHowever, if you are looking to truly know a people, not just Westerners but any people I suggest that you go to them walk in their towns, make friends with them, hold their children on your knee, share food from their table and learn their ways. I have done this and I can tell you this with sure and certain knowledge all over the world in  mud huts and castles our wants, wishes and desires are pretty much the same.\n\nWe all want the freedom to see our children grow, work that will sustain them and us in comfort, a chance to retire after we have done our time as workers.  We rejoice in the smile of our infants and are concerned about the care for our elderly.  The wise know that who ever created this planet drew no borders and that the differences among us are as artificial as those borders.\n\nMay I suggest that the only way to save the world is to think out side the box.  Quit looking for ways to tear the world and divide its peoples and look for what you like about those you do not yet know.  Then the world will be a better place for your visit and you will leave an echo when you leave of peace.  Which when you think about it is an epitaph we can all aspire to.

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

you have to get a passport from your own country.  Do you have a passport to be in the US?

The people of the United States want to form a better country, want justice and want to make sure there is peace among the people in the country. I'm not sure where you'd find a present day translation.
