10 When new Americans gain the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of citizenship, they contribute more fully to the vitality of our communities and our democracy as a whole. More than eight million immigrants currently qualify for citizenship based on their “green card” status, which allows them to live and work in the U.S. on a permanent basis. Yet, only eight percent of them become citizens each year. Supporting Aspiring Americans NewAmericansCampaign.org 10
