I moved to the United States from Israel to follow a girl. What started as a cross-Atlantic summer crush in 2011 evolved to a marriage and family. I never expected to immigrate to the United States, but this fall I started working on my naturalization forms on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.

Applying for any U.S. visa, let alone naturalization, is scary. The forms are long and burdensome and the fees are significant. You feel small in front of a giant and unforgiving bureaucracy. You are asking the world’s strongest superpower to accept you first as a guest, and eventually as one of its own.

Neither should habitual rapists, habitual thieves, habitual gang bangers, neither should habitual paper hangers, habitual child porn makers, habitual drug pushers, and many others.

I hear habitual drunkenness is less lowly regarded in Russia.
