Green cards...
Some girl showed hers today as ID and I had no other option but to refuse it, since the law states the ID must be state issued, or a military ID, or a passport.
But what's the point of it? I'm confused. Why not just become a citizen, or does that take a long time? Excuse my ignorance.

once you qualify to become a citizen it's a 1 year process at the most. somtimes more if you're from a country that is on the list. such as mainland China.
but yeah a state ID should only take 30mins to turn in at the DMV.

studying? okay i guess I studied for 30mins and it wasn't even needed. if you went to high school, then you should be able to answer all the questions asked.

No, many of us do not have that kind of money. ~300 dollars. Another reason is because we're lazy. You could live the rest of your life with a green card.
What am I talking about. I am an United States Citizen.

Green Card just means permanent residency, which means you are allowed to enter, exit, travel within, and live in the US. Most people who come here first come in on a visa which has a renewable period and restrictions on the purpose you came here. For instance, an F1 visa means you can only go to school, but cannot seek employment outside the school.
