As a part of Chandler's 17th annual Multicultural Festival, 150 people will become U.S. citizens Saturday at 11 a.m. at the festival's third annual naturalization ceremony.
The annual festival is part of the Celebration of Unity, a series of events held around Martin Luther King, Jr. day to recognize his spirit and ideals, along with heritage, diversity and the civil rights movement.
Phoenix Field Office Director John M. Ramirez will administer the oath and Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny will give laudatory remarks. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services will be administering the legal part of the ceremony.

Imagine that - 150 people who WANT to become U.S. Citizens - and
accomplished it!!!
All the demostrators who wave other countries flags Demanding rights
of citizenship when they are ILLEGAL and haven't put in the paperwork or
time to take the Citizenship test need to go back to their country and take
their home country flags and wave them there and demand their OWN country
pay them food stamps, rent assistance and free hospital and doctor bills - see how far that gets them - I don't think taxpayers/citizens of the U.S. should have
to pay their way - pay your own way.

Suetlg: I quite agree. A person should have to EARN CITIZENSHIP, not be able to steal it after becoming, then maintaining CRIMINAL status.
IMHO, they are trying to tie together ILLEGAL ALIENS with the civil rights movement. Problem is, THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS.
