Abstract

The article informs that in the public school, several classrooms were bee hives of activity as men and women crammed themselves into the tiny tots desk chairs and, carefully filled out forms that will help them get one step closer to gaining American citizenship. One woman clutched several papers in her brown-skinned hands as she consented to talk to a reporter about why she was there. Fifteen years ago, she came to the U.S. from Honduras. For the men and women crowded into the school in Upper Manhattan last Saturday, the process of becoming a U.S. citizen has often seemed too complicated and too expensive.
