I deleted it.

Being able to vote. Their words, not mine. I would hope that voting isn't the best thing citizenship has to offer! (don't get me wrong, I do think voting is good, just not the best)

You live in the Land of the Free.

Having the RIGHT to live, work, earn, and grow in the best country on earth. There are lots of things wrong about the U.S., but I think there are more things right and fewer things wrong here than in most other countries.

You're in the world's most hated country.

Right to Vote: This privilege is only available to U.S. Citizens, and while LPR’s are required to pay taxes and are permitted to reside in the U.S., they can not participate in the government by electing those who create laws. Sponsoring Family Members: Citizens are provided the opportunity to petition on behalf of family members and receive preferential expedition effectively reducing or eliminating the substantial immigration backlogs faced by non-U.S. Citizens and their families. Rights Extend to Minor Children: A parents of LPR children who naturalize can automatically qualify their minor children (under 18) in many cases. Protection Against Deportation: Non- U.S. Citizens convicted of criminal activity may be deported from the United States. Permanent Residents remain subject to the Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Immigration Courts. There are numerous cases of families being separated this reality. Travel Freedoms & Protections: Many Permanent Residents delay gaining U.S. Citizenship because they can work and travel freely from the U.S. However, a Permanent Resident can lose their green card by extended travel outside the U.S., as well as having to deal with the cumbersome and confusing immigration laws as they apply to them. courtesty of: www.rehlinglaw.com

Not so sure anymore. I kind of am keeping my eye on Canada, they have great social policies and are generally happy up there. The rest of the world loves them. Being American these days feels scary.

Depending on your country of origin...paved roads, running water, electricity, freedom of speech, Bill of Rights, protection under the law (sorta), lots of choices re consumer goods, availability of food, social/public services, schools, voting, medical services.... on the other hand, if you're here illegally, you pretty much get the same stuff except (maybe) the voting.

social security checks

False sense of freedom.

Having full access to the largest (for the moment) and richest economy in the world, with all the access to facilities and employment that implies.
