My thesis is that the many rights that the United States gives to its citizens
drive immigrants to come in to this country, but they soon learn that rights
are fraught with responsibilities, which can be beneficial to the United States
of America. US citizens have the right to vote, get elected, petition for a family member, purchase a firearm, own property, and leave the USA. These rights come with many responsibilities such as paying taxes, jury duty, obey laws, volunteer in a local community, and join the US Armed Forces. These rights drive immigrants to come to the United States. As a result, they contribute by fueling the American economy, creating new jobs,
retaining the best global talent, make America less globally isolated, enhance the
multilingualism in America, opens up ideas from elsewhere, and shape how the
world views America. I chose this topic because I was curious about how the United States operates in terms of citizenship.
