USCIS to host ceremonies around the country.
By The American Bazaar Staff
WASHINGTON, DC: The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will naturalize around 9,000 new US citizens from June 30 through July 4, a fitting celebration of US patriotism that will take place during the week of the country’s’ 238th birthday.
Citizenship ceremonies will take place all around the country, administered by USCIS officials in the following cities: Las Vegas, Nevada; Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; Miramar, Florida; Tucson, Arizona; New York, New York; Seattle, Washington; New Orleans, Louisiana; Memphis, Tennessee; and Santa Clara, California.
In addition, USCIS will host ceremonies at several places that serve as points of historical significance for the US, such as: George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon, Virginia; Thomas Jeffersons’s home, called Monticello, in Charlottesville, Virginia; the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii; Mount Rushmore, South Dakota; the USS Midway in San Deigo, California; the Battleship New Jersey in Camden, New Jersey, and the Saratoga National Historical Park in New York.
“We’re honored to celebrate Independence Day by welcoming new U.S. citizens at ceremonies across the United States,” said USCIS Acting Director Lori Scialabba, in a statement. “It’s our pleasure to celebrate the fulfillment of their dreams of citizenship at the same time we celebrate the birth of our country.”
In order to qualify for naturalization, a permanent resident – otherwise known as a Green Card holder – must have held that designation for a minimum of five years, and must pass a civics test to prove that they understand US laws, history, and so on. They must also be at least 18 years old, have been physically present in the US for 30 months out of the five years of residence, and meet several other qualifications.
The full list of naturalization ceremonies, including their specific locations and dates, can be found at www.uscis.gov/news.

Meanwhile millions of the poorest central America and Mexico has to offer will simply run across the border, squat, and drop a future gang member for the welfare despite the nation approaching 20 trillion in debt. The Democrats will borrow more money from China and saddle your great grandchildren with the debt so the street gangs can get some new members.
