The 14th Amendment establishes that persons born in the US are citizens. National citizenship also extends to state citizenship. Naturalized citizens undergo a legal process to become citizens, while those born in the US are natural born citizens. Entire populations can also be granted citizenship through treaties or statutes. To qualify for naturalization, one must be 18, a lawful permanent resident for 5+ years, have good moral character, be committed to the US Constitution, and be able to read, write, speak, and understand English. The US recognizes dual citizenship for those born abroad to US citizens or born in other countries.

US History Ch 9.3
The document discusses the process of becoming a U.S. citizen through naturalization. It notes that anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, while foreign-born individuals can become naturalized citizens if they go through the naturalization process. This involves being a legal immigrant for 5 years, being able to support oneself financially, passing an English and civics test, and taking an oath of allegiance to receive citizenship. The document also outlines some of the rights and responsibilities of citizens, such as obeying laws, paying taxes, jury duty, and potentially military service.
2. native v. naturalized and process
Native citizens are those born in the United States or born with a US citizen parent, while naturalized citizens go through a process to become citizens. The naturalization process involves being a lawful permanent resident for 3-5 years, passing English and civics tests, completing an interview, and swearing loyalty to the US.
DREAM Act
The DREAM Act proposes allowing conditional permanent resident status for certain unauthorized immigrant students who graduate from U.S. high schools and attend college or join the military. It has been introduced in Congress multiple times since 2001 but failed to pass. If enacted, it would impact students who arrived in the U.S. before age 16 and have lived in the country continuously for at least 5 years. Conditional permanent residents could spend 6 years working, studying, or serving before applying for full permanent residency by completing 2 years of college or military service. Supporters argue these students deserve a path to citizenship, while opponents say it rewards illegal immigration.
Citizenship in America
This document provides information about different types of American residents including citizens, legal residents, refugees, and illegal aliens. It defines citizens as those who are natural-born or naturalized and owe allegiance to the US government. Legal residents include those with visas (temporary) or green cards (permanent).

The American population grew from less than 4 million in the late 1700s to nearly 300 million today due to immigration and increased birthrates. There are two ways to become a US citizen - by birth or through naturalization. Citizenship by birth means being born anywhere in the US or having US citizen parents even if born abroad. Naturalization requires filing paperwork, living in the US for 5 years, being 18 years old, passing a test, and taking an oath. Legal aliens have permission like visas to be in the US but cannot vote or hold office, while illegal aliens cannot do anything legally and can be deported if found.

The document also gives Stone's presidential platform which includes legalizing gay marriage, education reform, and immigration reform. It concludes by listing the proposed members of Stone's cabinet.
How to Become a United States Citizen

The naturalization process involves meeting eligibility criteria like continuous residency for 5 years, good moral character, and passing tests of English and civics knowledge. Exceptions to the testing requirements exist for some elderly or disabled applicants. Filing paperwork, fingerprinting, an interview, and oath ceremony are also part of the administrative naturalization process administered by USCIS.

While some argue undocumented immigrants should be deported, others believe they should be given legal status and citizenship. A 2013 study found that legalizing the undocumented population would significantly benefit the US economy. Specifically, it estimated that GDP would increase by over $1 trillion over 10 years and hundreds of billions would be gained in personal income and tax revenue, as well as hundreds of thousands of new jobs per year.

No, the status of the child born under the 1935 Constitution is not material in determining his citizenship. Under the 1973 Constitution, any person born before January 17, 1973 of a Filipino mother is considered a natural-born Filipino citizen, regardless of whether the parents were married or not. Since Fernando Poe Jr. was born before 1973 to a Filipino father and an American mother, he is considered a natural-born citizen of the Philippines based on the 1973 Constitution. His parents' marital status is not relevant to determining his citizenship status.

The document argues that the Fourteenth Amendment was never constitutionally ratified and thus its protections do not apply to "anchor babies" or undocumented immigrants. It claims the Fourteenth Amendment failed to receive the necessary number of state ratifications to be added to the Constitution. It references debates around the Fourteenth Amendment's ratification process and cites analyses and congressional records that argue the amendment was not properly ratified and thus is not legally part of the Constitution. The document uses this argument to claim protections like birthright citizenship and due process do not apply to undocumented immigrants or their children born in the US.

Bashyam Spiro LLP - U.S. Citizenship And Family Immigration
There are two primary ways to become a US citizen: by birth in the US or by naturalization. To naturalize, one must generally be a lawful permanent resident for 5 years, meet residency requirements, demonstrate good moral character, pass English and civics tests, and take the Oath of Allegiance. US citizens can then sponsor relatives like spouses, children, and parents to become lawful permanent residents.

Greek citizenship
Citizens had some rights and responsibilities in ancient Greece, while subjects had no rights. Only free, native-born men who owned land were considered citizens. Citizens had rights like choosing laws, voting, holding office, owning property, and defending themselves in court. However, women, children, slaves, foreigners and those who didn't own land were not citizens. Citizens were responsible for serving in the government and fighting for their city-state, or polis.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
