Naturalization is often accompanied by increased financial security. Legal immigrants who naturalize experience an increase of about 8 to 11 percent greater income than their counterparts who do not naturalize and a 15 percent increase in spending power.

SS.7.C.2.1 Benchmark Clarification 3: Students will evaluate the impact of the

naturalization process on society, government, or the political process.

Debates about citizenship and naturalization have had a great impact (effect) on society,

government, and the political process. Citizenship is still sometimes a controversial topic. At

times, Americans have disagreed about who should be granted citizenship by naturalization

and about how difficult the process should be to gain citizenship. Some people question

how long an immigrant should be allowed to live in the U.S. without applying for citizenship.

Political parties have discussed these questions about naturalization in their party

platforms, and candidates’ views about naturalization influence how voters feel about

naturalization and the importance of U.S. citizenship. As more immigrants naturalize and

become involved in the political process, they also influence the debate by voting, running for

office, being selected for public office, and participating in lawmaking.

For example, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was changed in 1975 to require that election

ballots be printed in all of the languages in a county where at least 5% of the citizens living in

that county speak that language. In other words, if 5% of the citizens living in Orange

County, Florida, speak Spanish, then all of the election ballots must be printed in both

Spanish and English. This requirement makes it easier for naturalized citizens from Latin

America to vote because every item on the ballot is printed in Spanish. Since the Voting

Rights Act was changed in 1975, more naturalized U.S. citizens from Latin America vote in

elections. Also, candidates are more likely to include Spanish language commercials and

posters in their campaigns to show that they are reaching out to naturalized citizens.

Florida elected its first Cuban-American U.S. Senator in 2004 (Mel Martinez). Two brothers,

Mario Diaz-Balart and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, represented Florida in the U.S. House of

Representatives for several years. Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart was born in Florida

(citizen by law of soil), while Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart was born in Cuba and

became a naturalized citizen.
