Citizenship can come with many benefits, including the right to vote, international travel without restrictions, more healthcare and government benefits, and the opportunity to bring more family members to the U.S. sooner. Additionally, citizens will not face the possibility of deportation and removal if they commit a crime or violate other laws.
