Becoming a citizen by: Charles W. My topic is about becoming a citizen after you migrate to the U.S Click [|here] for a page from the official government website about becoming a citizen The following article is from [|www.worldbook.com] (in this article an alien is a person from another country not an extra terrestrial) Naturalization usually takes place in a ceremony in which qualified aliens promise loyalty to their new country. In the United States, many naturalization ceremonies take place on Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, September 17. Treaties or the passage of special laws may naturalize groups of people without the usual naturalization process. For example, an act of Congress naturalized the people of Puerto Rico in 1917. The United States had taken over Puerto Rico through the treaty that ended the Spanish-American War in 1898.
 * Naturalization** is the legal process by which foreigners become citizens of a country they have adopted. Each nation sets requirements that aliens must meet to become naturalized. For example, aliens cannot undergo naturalization in Canada or the United States unless they have lived in their new country for a number of years. On the other hand, Israel allows Jewish immigrants to become Israeli citizens the day they arrive under a rule called the Law of Return. Many nations naturalize only people who understand the rights and duties of citizenship and can use the national language. The United States and certain other countries require aliens to give up citizenship in their homelands to become naturalized.

The article and video that used to be here have been deleted because whenever you click the link you get a big popup that says CANNOT IDENTIFY COOKIES. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE. However much I would like people to learn the importance of cookies I took it away because it was probably very disapointing to someone reading it thinking that it tells them about citizenship through naturalization and birth and when they open it it just says some wierd stuff about cookies and webpages. The following article is from [|www.wikipedia.com] it is the oath that all immigrants that have passed all the tests for naturalization and meet all the standards must take: I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.[|[1]
