In California, it takes ~6 years just to get the Green Card and another 4 years to be eligible as a US citizen.

Waiting time is shorter in states with smaller population, but I think they don't welcome foreigners/immigrants (and dogs :P)

Perhaps they ought to take the whole lot of these ungrateful turdbags applications and put them in the shredder.  How do you like that.

They should have to live in the US as a citizen for five years before they are allowed to vote as well.

They've applied for citzenship in the accepted manner. If they've been waiting for several years, have been paying taxes and contibuting to this nation then let'm in. If they're a bunch of freeloading bums send them home. I have issues w/indiv who want to become Americans and have been waiting patently to do so while working.paying taxs etc.

Hell, lets keep them and send all the free loaders to Mexico....

I'm submitting my documents for citizenship this year and although I know I have no hope of getting the citizenship before the election I sure wish I could've done this earlier. Really wanted to vote for Ron Paul.

Although I do not agree with this lawsuit forcing the gov. to a deadline to fulfill the applications for citizenship, I believe that the gov. should at least be responsible enough to process these applications a lot faster.

It takes about 5 YEARS for citizenship documents to go through. It's ridiculous considering most people have to wait 7 years on average just to get a permanent resident green-card. I was very fortunate my mother was a US born Citizen and my family has Seminole ancestry... and because of that I received my green-card in less than a year..and perhaps i'll be receiving my citizenship just as fast. But for people who come in as 100% foreigners and do the green-card process lawfully and apply for citizenship I find it insulting to have to wait so long.

Especially when the illegal immigrants get green-cards and citizenship papers processed a lot faster, by different means.
