To whom it may concern:
I am a permanent resident that immigrated LEGALLY from the United Kingdom in 1983. I was born in 1978. I find it enthralling that people are going to get "grants" for citizenship in the amount of 1.2 million dollars. Unfortunately the process falls short when this "grant" will be seperated into 12 awards of $100,000 dollars for "programs". I believe this is a beaurocratic way of spreading the wealth while not accepting the fact that there are many LEGAL Permanent Residents who would love to obtain American Citizenship, but cannot afford the basic cost. Why not use some common sense when thinking about policy? Why not accept applications from individuals who cannot afford the $700 citizenship fee, but can demonstrate superior knowledge of American History, and respects and loves the United States Constitution? A person who works hard for a living and continues his education until he has the ability to pursue the finer American things in life. I believe the giving away of financial assistance to "programs" will not even get close to the 1700 American Prospectives that 1.2 Millions dollars would provide an American Citizenship Scholarship for. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Paul Michael Owens
