Do you know what it’s like to move to a very unfamiliar place? The two videos below were created to welcome people who have immigrated to the United States from other countries and to encourage them to become American citizens. As you watch each video, think about why its message might be helpful to new immigrants.
Let's Watch
This video was created by former president Barack Obama’s citizenship awareness campaign.
The true strength of a nation lies not in its might, but in the courage and conviction of its people. Our hopes, our dreams. Our boundless determination to set down roots and build a better life, not just for ourselves, but for our families, for our communities, for our children, for all of us. And by becoming an American citizen, you'll take an important step toward securing those dreams for all of us.
With the promise of better job opportunities, the rights and freedoms enjoyed by every American, and with the chance to give back to the country you now call home. It's not about changing who you are, it's about adding a new chapter to your journey as an American citizen and to our journey as a nation of immigrants.
So help us spread the word. Share this message with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. If you're eligible, commit to becoming a citizen today. Help others who are ready to take this step as well. It's an important step for you and an important step for our nation. Join us. Together we can make America stand even stronger.
