In 1790, Congress passed the first act governing naturalization, which provided that any free, white, male or female adult alien who had resided within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States for a period of two years was eligible for citizenship. From this humble beginning the current system of granting naturalized citizenship developed, one primarily laid out by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952 and amended many times since. Ongoing efforts to reform immigration and naturalization laws aim to replace this act with one more attuned to the needs of immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship as well as to the needs of the United States. To become a naturalized U.S. citizen, one must meet the general requirements set forth in the INA. Unfortunately, there are always people wanting to take advantage of those who do not understand how our government works. At any stage of the naturalization process, public librarians can be an invaluable resource, offering patrons access to all relevant resources available in print, on CD or DVD, and online. This article presents a list of these resources. (Contains 23 resources.)
