I became a U.S. citizen on 12.19.19, a day after President Trump has been impeached. Being from Italy, a privileged immigrant who comfortably flew over from Europe, I did not feel the urge to become a U.S. citizen until several months ago. Since my first arrival in the U.S. in 2012, sheltered by my sense of freedom and personal successes, there was no pressure to obtain a fourth citizenship. However, with the years, since 2016, the raging anti immigrant and xenophobic policies, overt hate and threats to democracy and liberty, have began corroding my false sense of security. No one is immune from threats, nothing should be taken for granted. Now I have a voice.
