There are many reasons why people want to become US citizens:
- It provides some protection by the US government when traveling abroad
- Certain types of tax benefits (for instance, S Corporations) are only available to US citizens
- Some jobs are only open to US citizens
- You do not have to carry immigration documentation with you wherever you go
- You cannot be deported (although your citizenship can be revoked if you obtained it fraudulently)
- Most welfare benefits are restricted to US citizens.
- Personally, the one I find most important: you are allowed to vote and participate in shaping and improving the country you chose to live in.
