So they can keep each other in check, and no one branch has total control. The way the US was created was to ensure true liberty for its citizens, and this is a big part of it. I wish I could go into more detail, I think it may be referred to as a "system of check and balances."

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.

Well, that is a good question.\n\nArticle 1 discusses citizenship.  There are no name requirements for citizenship.  There isn't even a language requirement for citizenship.

As far as the immigration issue, I have no problem with anyone wanting to immigrate, but why all of the sneaking over? Does it just take so long to go through all of the red tape or something? Just curious. I didn't see any of the previous postings, but you are completely correct! Unless you are of American-Indian descent, TECHNICALLY none of the rest of our bloodlines originated in what is now the United States! It frustrates and saddens me to see that people are still so ignorant. Even more so when I see them passing these beliefs and attitudes down to their young children! I think there is no greater crime than that! Where did the innocence of youth go? Way to go though. Great topic!

Hi. I was born in Holland. Now living in Australia. And loving it. I do not call myself Dutch as I became an Australian citizen in 1964. I'm an Aussie.

You are not one of the Mexicans they are talking about, you sound just as much and maybe a little more American than me. Some times we got to blur the line between right and wrong. My dad came here illegally but became a citizen 6 years ago. You have to take what you want sometimes if you want it that bad. But you sound like you have a great life, why do you what to come here so bad? -Dallas, TX

If you are changing for school, it's important to document you are the from the beginning.  Go to the dmv, change your liscense and voter registration.  Uually citizenship is granted after you've lived there for one year.

Apply for citizenship, I agree with the 1st answer. We would welcome you with open arms. Will pray for you. Good Luck!\nI wish everyone felt the same way you do about immigrating to the U.S. You sound like you would be an asset to our country.

Wherever the word CITIZEN appears.\n\nThere is a difference between a CITIZEN and an ILLEGAL ALIEN..\n\nMany MUSH-HEADS try to say it makes no difference, but even the LAW says so.

Hey, wattup Doug?!\n\nI am starting to develop the opinion that even if you are born in this country you are not entitled to citizenship unless your parents are citizens.\n\nGASP!  I know, I know, and yes it's me, Ben!  The pod people haven't taken over my body, I swear!  :D

are you coming in with an immigrant vise or non-immigrant visa....b/c a non it probably would be 1-2 years at the most, Immigrnt would be good until you become a citizen...which takes 5 years unless you are getting married than it is 3 years until you are eligible to take the Citizenship tests

I'm British.\n\nI technically am English, but I have some Irish Blood. I feel that I am British by birth, and am from the same nation as a Scotsman, a Welshman and a Northern Irishman. We are four Countries united into one Nation. I bear a Union Flag with pride from my window and on my clothes (in fact, wherever I can), I don't own a St George's Flag.\n\nI am a serving member of the RAF and have very good friends from all walks of life and from all of the Countries that make up Great Britain. I am a patriot and am proud of my British roots.

This is a very vague question.  What citizenship do you hold?  Where do you live?  Where do you want to go?  What type of artist are you?

depends what language you are being asked it in?\nseems u don't have to speak english to become a citizen ....\nI mean just look at the election system and how many ballots you have printed in different languages ....if you are going to be a citizen and allowed to vote - it should only be ENGLISH.   Would save a lot of money........and promote a truly united country.

That sounds like my situation. \nSupport what you agree with, not what you feel like you have to have allegiance to, be that your country or your family. Personally, I don't think you have to choose. The illegals don't want to be illegal, that's the point of all the political movements going on lately. They want to be citizens. So you can support America, support your right toward free speech and freedom of demonstration, and support your family all at the same time, without it being a contradiction.
