By this logic, why aren’t Chinese citizens given representation in our congress?
Or Russians? Or French citizens?
Because wherever these “non-citizens” are from, at least some of their country’s people are getting represented in our congress.
Well, there is Islamic representation in Congress!
Good points!
Legal Immigrants do not get citizenship immediately. They first receive permanent resident visa, also known as the Green Card (because it is green color).
Then after 5 years of residency, they can apply for US citizenship, if they have not accumulated any criminal record. Only then they should run for any elected position.
