Be More, Do More, Earn More!
Being a U.S. citizen pays more – literally. Foreign-born workers make just 83% of the earnings made by their native-born counterparts, and foreign-born workers who have yet to become citizens make even less.
Naturalized citizens will also gain access to many of the benefits afforded to native-born and naturalized counterparts, including Social Security and Medicare. Workers will also be able to apply for many good-paying, government jobs that typically require applicants to be citizens.
