This is an April Fool's joke from @JoseIsWriting. But why? He contributes a lot, he pays taxes, and he does everything other American citizen do. How is there not a process for Jose becoming a citizen? What an exceptionally unexceptional country. Also, follow Define American.

Define American If you’re wondering why, decades later, millions of undocumented Americans like me have not been able to adjust our immigration status, look at this graphic.

April Fools!
