What these people give up proves the value of American citizenship. Changing ones nationality in itself can be difficult. "Im a Frenchman!" or "Im German!" they once said. This is given up for "American!" The original national pride of the immigrant is exchanged for a new identity. So they come to the United States with a dream. and often nothing more. They come to what they have heard is the "land of opportunity". Without material belongings. immigrants expect to find a place in American society. and they often do. Whether they choose to work in a factory or company. or they try to make it in their own business. there is a place for them somewhere in the United States. and the work force usually provides a space for the newcomers. However. it is hard at first. Immigrants must compete with native citizens for jobs. For a foreigner with little education and little experience in the United States. the battles seem futile. but with time. immigrants learn that they can succeed. They must be the best at whatever they do. and they find that the "land of opportunity" is also the land of competition. The naturalization process is definitely a challenge. Applicants struggle to gain knowledge of the English language and the United States government. They must learn a totally new history in addition to their own.
