Just days after a presidential election, New York welcomed 80 new U.S. citizens in a naturalization ceremony at Onondaga Community College Thursday. The 80 citizen candidates from over 30 countries were joined by friends and family to celebrate the milestone. The process to become a U.S. citizen can take years, sometimes decades. Julio Giordano came to the U.S. from Argentina as a graduate student 19 years ago, his wife and two sons are already U.S. citizens. He said its an overwhelming feeling of pride to join them.
