Immigration in the United States has become a controversial topic in the political arena.

There are various steps one must take in order to become a U.S. citizen. The steps to becoming a citizen are laid out on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website. Steps toward citizenship include preparing an Application for Naturalization, paying fees, completing an interview and taking the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.

President Donald Trump and his administration have made it a priority to secure the border and crack down on the millions of illegal immigrants already living in the country. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws.

Since beginning his second term in the White House, Trump has worked to initiate the deportation of illegal immigrants.
