Satisfy these requirements and "Congratulations! You are now a US citizen!"
Don't satisfy them? See ya...off you go to your home country. And...BTW...you leave your tax & SS money behind.

Illegals are here because this is "the promised land"...make it easy.
Don't forget the $1500 fine, about the cost of a good immigration lawyer.

Promised Land? Yep, they promise you everything but deliver squat.
