Indeed.I saw some documentary where they went and filmed citizenship ceremonies across the country.They talked to the new citizens my favorite was an Iraqi man he said "people in Iraq would love being a dog in America" kind of of funny (or maybe sad) that many native born Americans do not realize just how good we have it here even if at the lowest level.One of my cousins adopted a Romanian boy about 15 years ago now he is in college and his parents are upper middle class he has nothing really to worry about.In Romania I doubt he would be in anywhere near the same situation(especially considering his parents gave hm away) even if he had a good job.
