Citizenship oath ain't what it used to be. I know numerous naturalized citizens among family and friends and I am sure they are not an exception. US citizenship to them means they get a US passport and can travel without a visa to most places. For the elderly, they get a handsome stipend without having paid a dime into anything. In CA, the combined Federal and state payout is, ready for this, $800 a month. So no, tears don't roll down their faces when citizenship is bestowed upon them. In fact, the moment it is done they start noticing all that is wrong with America. Guess what party they'll sign up for?
