Fighter urges Americans to respect the law and go to church

As a soon-to-be naturalized American citizen, he emphasized the importance of distinguishing right from wrong and expressed concern that America could become a third-world country if people continue to disregard these values.

Migrants' disillusionment with America's downfall
While there is hope that some migrants who come to the United States may recognize the decline and pitfalls the country faces, it is essential to ensure that the immigration process is followed through traditional channels.

By maintaining a fair and regulated immigration system, the United States can better protect its interests and ensure the success of those who legally immigrate.
