A license to vote

What defines a true American? The United States is often described as a country of immigrants, and in every naturalization ceremony, new citizens are told by the president they ?are just as American today as the descendants of the Founding Fathers.?To reach that naturalization ceremony, applicants need to meet a number of requirements set by US Citizens and Immigration Services, such as being at least 18 years old and having lived at the same address in the United States for a minimum of five years.Some University students entered the United States on a G4 visa ? a non-immigrant visa that allows members of international organizations to participate in business activities in the United States ? before obtaining their status as legal permanent residents because their parents worked in US offices of these international organizations, Fourth-year College student Christopher Kyle, for example, has been naturalized but is still a New Zealand national.
