What are the pros and cons of becoming a U.S. citizen?

Question

I used to think that its so obvious --citizenship is way to go --- but does it actually benefit somebody more to NOT become a citizen (moral considerations aside)

Answer 1

There is some info missing that is needed to answer your question, but I'll go on the assumption that you are discussing the difference between holding a green card or obtaining citizenship. You know, a lot of people will say that the only advantage is that you can vote. While this is one advantage, there are others. For example, if you are a citizen you never have to worry about deportation which can happen in theory to a GC holder if they even fail to file their income tax return. As a citizen you are also afforded the full benefits of the US Embassies and Consulates worldwide, provided that you entered that country on your US passport.
