Naturalization
Becoming a United States citizen can often be a lengthy and difficult process. Among the many benefits of naturalizing and becoming a U.S. citizen, one of the most important is that as a citizen you cannot be deported. This protection is significant because of the numerous grounds of removable which are available to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to remove (deport) non-citizens of the U.S. Many of the laws for removal are retroactive such that a criminal conviction, no matter how long ago it occurred, can be used to remove a non-citizen.
