(Gridley, CA) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after serving as the keynote speaker at a U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) Naturalization Ceremony in Gridley, CA.

The new citizens are from India, Mexico, and Afghanistan.
LaMalfa said: "Today, we're celebrating those who've done it the right way and become legal citizens of the United States. I was very happy to welcome fifteen new applicants, hailing from India, Mexico, and Afghanistan as new Americans. They've worked hard, followed the legal process for citizenship, and now they've been rewarded with American citizenship. They have each traveled their own uniquely different paths, but each is a testament that our immigration system can work when our laws are followed and respected.
