Years ago a friend of mine in Phoenix became a US citizen, and much to my surprise he asked me to attend his swearing in ceremony. I was glad I went.
Some of the people there are given the opportunity to speak and it was very, very moving. These people left their home countries for whatever reason, some of them with only the clothes on their backs, and came to the US and went to college, started families, opened up businesses, and lead very productive lives.
