how did YOU EARN U.S. citizenship?

Question

Just a survey... please don't state that your parents or grandparents have accomplished.

I was born here... as I stated earlier, its just a survey.

Answer 1

I fought in desert storm

Answer 2

My grandparents or parents didn't accomplish anything, they were granted U.S. citizenship via the U.S. Government.

My mother's grandparents came to the U.S. as Irish and German immigrants. My father's grandparents were English, Scottish, and American Indian. The English ancestors fought for citizenship, the Scottish assimilated, and the Native Americans died to become American citizens.

I became a U.S. citizen through the largess of those who had pity on the most unfortunate. Praise be to God!

Answer 3

He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be
One against whom there was no official complaint,
And all the reports on his conduct agree
That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a
saint,
For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.
Except for the War till the day he retired
He worked in a factory and never got fired,
But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.
Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his views,
For his Union reports that he paid his dues,
(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)
And our Social Psychology workers found
That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink.
The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day
And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.
Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,
And his Health-card shows he was once in a hospital but left it cured.
Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare
He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Installment Plan
And had everything necessary to the Modern Man,
A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.
Our researchers into Public Opinion are content
That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;
When there was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went.
He was married and added five children to the population,
Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his
generation.
And our teachers report that he never interfered with their
education.
Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd:
Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

Answer 4

I was born in the United States which makes me a citizen and native born American.

Answer 5

I spent years filing forms and paying fees. My husband took many days off work to drive to the state INS office and sit with me while I struggled to immigrate. One winter day, we drove up there, before dawn, to wait in line outside the building, in sub-zero temperatures. After the doors finally opened, we waited all day (we were only fifteenth in line) in a big room full of people until after three o'clock when our number was finally called and most of our paperwork was processed. We just needed one final supervisor's signature to complete this batch of expensive forms... and the supervisor left work five minutes early. We had to come back again the next day and play the waiting game all over again.

Believe me, I've earned it.
