Becoming A Citizen
- The process of becoming a US citizen is called naturalization. There are some requirements to be a US citizen as well. For example, if you don't know our language, you have to learn how to speak English. This is because the majority of the people who currently live in the United States speak English, and only English. That way people can understand you when you speak. Otherwise it will be like no one can understand you. Another thing you have to do to be a US citizen is to learn our country's history and government. Looking at whats illegal and legal, along with what laws we have, what went on in the past, and how we shaped our government.
