7 Reasons I Love Being a US Citizen

I've been a US citizen for the past eight months. Here are seven reasons why I love that fact.

There was a quote that I remember seeing a while ago. “You can move to France, but you won’t become French. You can move to Germany, but you won’t become German. But when you move here, you become an American.” Congrats on the citizenship🥳🇺🇸

Am I the only one who loves hearing "Welcome home"? I'm a US citizen by birth and it still makes me so happy to hear it like 'yes! yes I'm so happy to be home, thank you!'

I so enjoyed this video. I don't believe I've ever heard someone who has become a UScitizen actually express how they feel about becoming one of us. It's actually humbling to hear you describe how differently it has made you feel. Thank you, and by all means, welcome to the family.

Im from Peru my husband from Brazil and became Us citizen a few years ago. We love our countries but the US has giving us so many opportunities. We couldn’t be more grateful to this country. Congrats on your citizenship 🇺🇸

Here's my fun US passport story: when you take the highschool SAT test you have to show ID. Most kids showed a school ID, driver's license, or learner's permit. I was young and homeschooled the first time I took it. I had neither. However, thanks to a Bahamas cruise, I had a passport. Only kid the lady had ever seen checking in to take the SAT with a passport.

My grandmother came to The US over 100 years ago, through Ellis Island as a young girl ( by herself) and became a naturalized citizen before women were granted the right to vote. The pride she had about being an American and impressing upon her daughters and granddaughters the privileges we have now always stuck with me. I see that same look in your eyes about being American . Thank you for helping me remember Grandma Mary.

I’m so happy for all of us Americans that you are an American citizen! We’re privileged to have you join us!

[kellidominguez]

So happy you are an American! Congratulations on your citizenship! We're proud to have you!

Well earned citizenship for someone who adds greatly to our culture and society. His videos make me proud to be American in ways I hadn't yet thought of.

[zachary]

I’m so used to people taking the worst possible things about America, from foreigners or Americans, that it’s kinda depressing and demoralizing. Finding the one video a year where someone is actually remotely positive is so refreshing. Thank you. I haven’t even watched the video yet but it’s already proved helpful.

We are happy to have a great guy like you as one of us.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

When my son voted for the first time in the last election, they announced it & everyone cheered. It was awesome!

[courtneyhume]

Congratulations, Laurence, on becoming a US citizen! We’re thrilled to have you. 🇺🇸

[sherryford]

I have come back through US immigration dozens of times, at various airports, and I never fail to appreciate those special words, "Welcome home."

[doncarlton]

I'm so proud to have a fine upstanding fellow like you as a fellow American! I was born here, but you CHOSE to be one of us! Bravo Lawrence!

[dingerma]

You have added to the greatness of the US by joining us. Thank you.

[glassmw]

As an American citizen, I wish more American citizens felt this way. Thank you for this!

[katnor]

I'm an American (only) and this is the sweetest thing ever. Also it's always nice when people from other countries don't hate us. 😂
