Please do not cheapen what they have accomplished buy not enforcing the immigration laws , pathway to citizenship can only happen if the borders are more secure and employers are punished severely for hiring non citizens http://www.pressherald.com/news/Young-immigrants-celebrate-citizenship-in-Maine.html PORTLAND Thirty-five children celebrated their first day as United States citizens in typical American fashion this afternoon: They attended a baseball game. The children were part of a pre-game honorary ceremony that celebrated their U.S. citizenship today at Hadlock Field, home of the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs. The children, from Congo, Germany, Philippines and Somalia, were presented certificates recognizing their citizenship, which was derived from their naturalized parents or adoption, before the Sea Dogs game with the Reading Phillies.
