After many years, lot's of paperwork and a significant amount of fees. I had my Naturalization Ceremony late last week. Now I am part of this “experiment".😅#NewUSCitizen (I know the timing is a little bit 😬, wish us all good luck…)

@esden
Congratulations—I'm sorry that *this* is the welcome you get, you deserve better. (We all do.)

That aside, I have an enormous amount of respect for people who undergo naturalization—you are emblematic of the best of what this country can be; if we're born to it, that's all well and good, but you chose to join us. 😊

@ben_zen Thank you, and I appreciate the sentiment. Let's work towards a better future and a better union together. :)
