US Citizenship- Rights conferred on the US citizen
By: Angelo Battaglia | Posted: 10th February 2011
Getting a US citizenship is very much in demand. USCIS receives millions of applications from all over the world each year. But what is it about the United States citizenship that attracts people from all over the world. There are certain rights which have been mentioned below and may help answer this question.
Permission to trade: The US citizenship gives you the right to trade and conduct commercial activities in the United States. Ever since World War-II, the united states has been a dominant force in world economy. It is this nature of the US economy that has earned it the nickname "The Land Of Opportunity". Many people want to immigrate to the United States to benefit from its gigantic economy and the prospects that it offers to innovative minds
.
Permission to live: US is also known as the "Land Of the Free". One of the biggest democracies in the world, it confers upon its citizens a life in which they can pursue liberty and happiness without any intervention from the state.
Social Security: The US citizenship also entitles you to the world class social security system which takes care of all its citizens when they are unemployed in a recession. This basically guarantees minimum standard of living even during the worst of times. Most other countries do not have such measures in state and this is also a reason why immigrants are attracted to the lure of a stable life. However the USCIS ensures that people who are a drain on the national resources are not admitted into the country. During immigration, they give consideration to the likely economic benefit that an immigrant will bring to the state.
Medical benefits: US citizenship also provides minimum healthcare and medical benefits to all its citizens. This in turn once again furthers the promise of security as well as opportunity that US citizenship offers and attracts millions of immigrants to the United States each year.
Consular protection: US Immigration embassies take full care to protect their citizens on their visits abroad. The US embassy is known for treating each American citizen as a precious asset. More and more people feel valued being an American citizen.
US citizenship confers many rights on each of their citizens but at the same time it also confers many duties. In fact civic rights and duties can said to be two sides of the same coin. Hence immigrants must understand the other side of the equation as well before they voice their interest in getting a US citizenship Application.
