Over 190 legal residents received assistance
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Houston TX - Thanks to the help of community and corporate volunteers more than 190 legal residents began the process of becoming an American citizen at Congressman Gene Greens 19th Annual Citizenship Day on Saturday June 8th at Houston Community College Northeast.
Rep. Green stated Our Citizenship Day event is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done as a public servant. Men and women who have lived in the U.S. for decades but have been intimidated by beginning the process have the opportunity to take that first step. I have been to several naturalization ceremonies and the patriotism and pride just take your breath away and it is an honor to be a part of that.
Houston Community College Northeast President Dr. Margaret Ford Fisher also came to the event to show her support. Local volunteers from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) NALEO LULAC Hispanic Organization for Postal Employees (HOPE) and local immigration attorneys were also essential to the success of Congressman Greens 19th Annual Citizenship Day.
