resident aliens.
They are resident aliens.
Children can be citizens on their own. For example- illegal alien gives birth in the U.S., the illegal mother is still illegal but the child would be a U.S. citizen.
Alien Act
TRUE
No. United States does not have an official legal language.But there is a basic spoken English and literacy test for people becoming citizens though.If immigrants come to the United States with the intent of doing business and/or becoming citizens, they usually do take the time and make the effort to learn the English language. However, immigrants who enter and/or stay in the United States illegally and take advantage of our lack of law enforcement usually do not bother to learn the language.
Yes
The United States Constitution in Article 1 Section 8, gives Congress the power to makes rules for naturalization. Congress can change the period of time a permanent resident must live in the United States before becoming a citizen.
Ellis island
Because New York City was the first place in America that they saw and experienced. All immigrants into the United States landed first in New York City, and had to pass through Ellis Island, before becoming citizens.
Naturalization is the process of making noncitizens American citizens. Many immigrants wait years before they are able to become a citizen.
I think the law requires an immigrant to live in the United States at least five years before he or she can apply to become a naturalized citizen because it's for the immigrants to know the country, knows it's laws, and to get used to the country.
The number of foreign-born population who became naturalized citizens has declined by about 65 percent.
