New Americans

The United States is a nation of immigrants and each year thousands of new immigrants take the oath of allegiance to the U.S. at naturalization ceremonies across the country. We attended one recently at the DeConcini Federal Courthouse in Tucson, Arizona.​

[@sheryllbellman6420]

What a genuine and lovely man, the Honorable Judge Frank Zapata! Proud to call him a friend for more than 60 years!

[@nikoid3631]

congratulations guys! I am also a new citizen about 1 year ago. I from Indonesia .. now I live in California. God Bless America! Make America Safe Again! Proud to be America!

[@hughmarks8020]

I wish I knew when these ceremonies took place because I would love to attend. I became a US citizen 31 years ago and I have never looked back.

[@frankc.5430]

Everybody should attend the ceremony at least once in their lives... some of us who were born here seem to forget at times how good we have it...

[@DADDAH30]

God bless America 👏🏾

[@JohnThomas-su5bw]

All Americans who where born here should be forced to watch this to remind us all of who we are.

[@frankc.5430]

TRUE DAT.

[@res3382]

AMEN

[@click4001]

what u mean?

[@mazatoshi7501]

America is a generous country I love it

[@jacobs2162]

I have not heard anyone say stop immigration. I've heard what the Honorable Judge Zapata say, there must be a process to weed out the bad elements

[@oscopin74]

never stop the flow of immigrants. I'm a born US citizen, former soldier, and I love the fact that we are the "great melting pot". I place a lot of pride in that.

[@mahmoudyassin1043]

Great judge I will be attending oath ceremony soon Proud to be a soon citizen will serve America with my heart as long as I don’t have to give up my identity... America is great for this.... will work on keeping it greater for my grand children.

[@lorettafitzgerald4146]

Thank Judge Zapata, for your heartfelt witness. I truly wish the current administration (2017) would see this clip.

[@silvert00]

Loretta Fitzgerald why would it matter if they did? EVERYONE who supports it, including me, WANTS to see people come here LEGALLY. Turn off your TV.

[@frezerdekyi2134]

[@user-fd7yr2ov2l]

Why are there so few European immigrants?

[@elizabethsmith9624]

Chez Blunts because it’s Arizona

[@moyare7057]

Why would European immigrate to Us. Europe is better than Us by land mile at the moment.

[@SL-pg4dh]

Because their homeland is older and better than U.S. They have better education, better social programs, better healthcare, better job prospect, safety, better infrastructures.

[@o.h2202]

@@moyare7057 im european and i'd like to live in USA. I just feel more and more restricted by european union and my country just feels like their satellite state. I'm allso big fan of outdoors and USA just has better nature and landscape than my country.

[@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871]

Without White people creating America, there would have been no ceremonies like this as only White people countries are giving citizenship to immigrants. i am Asian and i appreciate to be in a White people’s Land.

Not ONE western country is represented. WTF
