Doesn’t sound like their wait is much longer than that of an American citizen applying for a passport.
Oh gee. The first thing they want to do is VOTE??
fIRE UP THE IMMIGRUNT BUS. They are coming to vote.
(better print up the ballots so they can read them)
Better yet. Make them sit this election out since they certainly can’t understand the importance of being an informed voter when newbies to everything American.
I applied for U.S. citizenship July 24, 2007 in NH and was sworn in as a new citizen on Dec. 14, 2007 ! The process (through the Manchester NH Immigration office) went much more quickly and efficiently than I ever anticipated. Therefore, I was able to VOTE, for the first time ever, in the Jan.8, 2008 NH Primary !
Since when do you need citizenship to vote? Ask Bob Dornan how he lost to Loretta Sanchez in Orange County, California!
I bet I know who they’re voting for.
Part of the naturalization process is verifying that legal immigrants did not lie on their initial applications for green cards. What these guys want to do is bypass the controls and legalize fraudulent green card holders.
Thanks to the current bias for family reunification, the bulk of our future immigrants will come from Latin America. This is a preposterous policy that McCain’s amnesty bill will extend yet further.
This article is hogwash. They need to do what any good DemocRAT would do. Just show up at any polling place and vote as often as you like! It’s not rocket science.
Mexico has already said they are welcome to still vote in Mexico’s elections.
So much for a loyalty oath.
Houston PING
They know what party they are voting for even if they don’t know who the candidate will be.
Exactly
“And many realize citizenship, and literacy, can lead to a better job.”
That’s not why they are here (for better jobs). Americans have been sold a lie that we “need” them here to do the jobs that no one else wants to do.
When they move BEYOND those jobs they are doing jobs that other people DO want to do.
She's been here for 27 years, but it's the government's fault that she might miss the election? Kudos to her for being here legally and applying for citizenship, but a good American citizen takes responsibility for their own actions.
Landeros, who married a U.S. citizen after coming to Houston 15 years ago, longs to vote — to voice her support for a presidential candidate who appreciates immigrants
Looks like they will be voting for Mclame
My wife, a citizen, applied for immigrant visas for her brother and sister in 2000. The petition was approved in 2005. With the rate of available visa numbers, we’re still expecting it will take another 2-3 years. Excuse me if I don’t have much sympathy for anyone who came here illegally, or got through the process quickly. (It is true that higher-priority categories for more immediate relatives are quicker.)

but if they had any appreciation at all for America, its probably best if they dont vote in this election. Im a natural born citizen, and I right now trying to figure out how to justify this election to my grandchildren...if we all live long enough to have them....
