The Cost of Immigration
This article portrays the immigration issue in a different light; immigrants who are earnestly trying to become citizens and slowed by the high cost of naturalization. Many immigrants "complain" about the high cost of naturalization. Although 650-some-odd dollars for 1 person the become naturalized seems like a high price, in the big picture it isn't really that much. Considering how expensive most things in this country are, I am not surprised that the fee is that high. However, because most immigrants don't have "high paying jobs" they blame that part of the system for their inability to become naturalized. It is a high price, but I don't believe that in the big picture that it is A) not worth the money spent and B) not bad overall. I understand that it is difficult to come up with a few thousand dollars to bring your entire family here, but it is a matter of 'economic' choices, and what is most important for you and your family.
