The Chicago White Sox celebrated a beautiful day at the ballpark on May 15 by hosting a naturalization ceremony for 25 individuals from 17 countries. These individuals took an important step by becoming United States Citizens! Congratulations to the new #NewUSCitizens!
It’s a dream come true. I feel like now I’m 100% complete,” new citizen Maria Calderon said. “It’s super exciting.”
White Sox third baseman Bryan Ramos handed out Sox hats before the group and their families enjoyed the game. Ramos was born in Cuba, and he is currently going through the citizenship process himself.
“Their excitement to be here today, excitement to be U.S. citizens, the fact we get to be part of that for them and their families is really special,” White Sox Vice President Christine O’Reilly said.
It was the second year that the White Sox have hosted a naturalization ceremony.
Naturalization to become a U.S. Citizen can bring many rights and privileges, such as voting in elections and becoming eligible for certain government jobs. United States citizenship also has financial benefits and protections. Understanding all the rights and responsibilities associated with becoming a United States citizen is important before applying for naturalization. Add your name to the list of #NewUSCitizens.
