Immigration backlogs

I’m so into this topic, because my sister has been waiting forever to become an US citizen. At the beginning they said they would take about 3 months and then when she sent the papers and paid the fees, they said it was going to take a minimum of 18 months...What!

According to CNN, 1.4 million immigrants have applied to become naturalized citizens. This is 1.4 million has doubled last year’s number. People have been arguing that immigration is so build-up with paperwork plus their unwilling desire to do something about rushing things up that they have raised the period of applying from seven to 18 months. People is angered because they are also very interest in voting next November for general elections.

Hope some politics help to make things faster, is not fare that people wait for so long to become citizens.
