American founders begun with equal privileges and permission. Naturalization is the legal process by which immigrants become American citizen, it works differently from other countries due to its openness to diverse backgrounds and opinions. All that is required of the immigrants is for them to carry themselves as…

their heads up. They kept on protesting for civil rights and, eventually, received them. This is strikingly similar to the situation that the immigrants are going through today, except instead of a literacy test, they’re taking a Naturalization test. The Naturalization test, like the literacy test, is extremely complex and is not meant to be past. To be fair, immigrants are issued a study guide with the possible test questions on it. Nonetheless,…

Naturalization Reform The topic of illegal immigration never seems to go away or get easier. Illegal immigrates cross our borders, coming over and working taking jobs and greatly effecting Americas economy. Its not a question that illegal immigrates are a problem that need to be dealt with but we must take a look at ourselves and our naturalization process. The process is difficult and tedious and rather than integrating you into this great nation it forces you to wait and dangles your “freedom”…

however, has been around as an issue since the beginning of the United States. Our forefathers wrote down in the United States Constitution, Article I Section 8 Clause 4, that the federal government has the power to “establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization”.

The original inhabitants of the land that is now known as the United States of America were some of the last peoples to be recognized as actual citizens of this great country. The Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790, provided the first rules to achieving national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were free white persons of good character. These laws did not include the darker skinned original inhabitants of the land. In the following years these laws were…

parent’s decisions. Some may feel bitterness and contempt while others may feel admiration and motivation. The “Sign in My Father’s Hands” by Martin Espada conveys the feeling of being treated as a criminal for doing the right thing. Similarly, “Naturalization” by Jenny Xie is the story of a family who recently immigrated to America going through gauntlet of assimilation. In this paper I am going to analyze, discuss, compare and contrast the authors attitudes towards their parents according to…

the first naturalization law formed was known as the Nationality Act. This act “restricted citizenship to “any alien, being free white person” who had been in the U.S. for two years” (Densho Encyclopedia). It excluded indentured servants, slaves, and most women, but would later be applied to African Americans, and Asian immigrants on regards to them not being eligible to be naturalized. It is from the Nationality Act that the Naturalization Act of 1798 was founded. The Naturalization Act of…

1. Naturalization can be defined as the process of making something seem natural. In the book “Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies”, Holmes states many examples of the naturalization of social inequality. One example is the language used to describe migrant workers. In the book, the Triqui were described as dirty and wild. They were described as dangerous people that didn’t belong here in the United States. The Triqui people were being disrespected but they didn’t do anything about it because they think…
