This is what makes America Great.   
We are a nation of people, whose immigrants earn their citizenship through a naturalization ceremony. And they take place in some of the most spectacular locations. We are a nation of Immigrants, built by Immigrants, fought for by Immigrants, settled by Immigrants.  God bless the United States of America.
