Excerpt from America for Coming Citizens This book is the outgrowth of the author's belief that the Coming Citizen in our country eagerly seeks to understand the great American institu tions; that he shows a laudable curiosity on the many topics which older Americans frequently take for granted, and that it is unfair to place the burden for failure to understand America entirely on the immigrant. Within the limits of a single volume some of the most pressing questions confronting the coming citizen are answered. What is this America of which you speak? How came it to be? How are you different from us who are not yet citizens? What do I owe to your past? What must I do to participate in the present and to make glorious your future? What ought I to know as an American? What must I do to take my place as an American? The author has not hesitated to quote freely the words of such Amer icans as Franklin K. Lane, Henry van Dyke, Elihu Root, Louis D. Brandeis, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Coming To America is a realistic experience of early life in America from the very first day in the land of the free through the process of normalizing residency, desperate search for job, affordable apartment in a secured environment, acclimatizing with the four seasonal weathers and the actuality of becoming an American citizen. It is a well-documented chronology of the life of a family of five from Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa who migrated to the United States in 2011 on the platform of the U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery program to liberate themselves from a raging economic storm, unsafe and chaotic environment and an unpredictable education for their children. Coming To America became a new beginning but a predictable and stable climb up to the dream of an accomplished life and the attainment of the American Dream.
America is a country that is filled with many immigrants. In this fascinating book, readers will learn some of the many reasons immigrants choose to become American citizens.

The official companion book to the brand new HBO(r) documentary In the HBO(r) documentary tentatively titled Citizen USA, acclaimed filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi sets out on a road trip across America to attend naturalization ceremonies in all fifty states to meet brand-new citizens and find out why they chose America as their home. What she discovers is that America welcomes them all-the disabled, the cancer patients, homosexuals, Obama- haters, Christian missionaries, Muslim imams, Jewish rabbis, Buddhist monks, scientists with Ph.D.s (trying to find the cure for all the diseases that are plaguing us), tech giants in Silicon Valley, movie directors, race car drivers, and even a wrestler with his own action figure! Whether these new Americans arrived here through online dating, adoption, political asylum, student and work visas, or by swimming the Rio Grande River (and remained long enough to be granted amnesty) they all came here to live the "American Dream." And even though they are no longer visitors, our newest citizens still look at America with an outsider's perspective; they hold up a mirror to show us how we look as a nation-and how much we take for granted. At a time when unemployment is at an all-time high, America's manufacturing base is eroding, the federal deficit is exploding, and the poverty rate is at seventeen percent, immigrants from every other country on earth still flock here because no matter how bad it gets here, it's still a heck of a lot better than most other places on earth.
