A lady who works with my wife just got her citizenship after immigrating from Pakistan about 6 years ago......she has her "diploma" and a flag on her office wall, wife said she wept for 2 days when she became a citizen. My wife's family immigrated LEGALLY from Mexico in 1985, took em about 3 years of hard work to become citizens.....and from their own mouths it was worth every second. They curse the border security and rampant illegal problem we have here, and they are Mexicans.....said its embarrassing.
