Today, just shy of 14 years after moving to America, I joined 2,001 others at Pomona Fairplex in making the Oath of Allegiance. Yep, I now have dual citizenship.
The oldest participant was 99, and could walk unaided. Good for her! But I do wonder what benefits someone that age hopes to attain from citizenship, that she wasn't already getting from a green card. I mean, she's unlikely to get picked for a jury. Perhaps she just really wants to vote in next year's election.
