I was wondering something

sun_sparkz, australia is much harder than you think. Getting permanant residency and work status can be very, very difficult and time consuming.

Switzerland I think is normally 6 years for citizenship but I could be wrong. Not sure on Australia, thought it was 10 but I think that's wrong.

Judging from where I work, pretty much anyone can get into the US, and once you are here, it doesn't actually seem to matter all that much if you are an actual citizen or not. You still get public health assistance, food stamps, social security, free education, and you can hold jobs.

I'm not real sure citizenship is the big deal it once was, at least, not as far as day to day living goes. Or am I way off base?
