Citizenship numbers surge in state
Long a port of entry for immigrants, California has bolstered its position as a portal to citizenship, and as the center of a national surge in citizenship among Mexican immigrants.
According to a new report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the number of new citizens in California rose by 19 percent, with 181,684 residents taking the oath of citizenship last year - the most since 2001 and more than twice as many as any other state.
Nationally, the number of Mexican immigrants who became citizens jumped by 46 percent, to 122,258 people from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007. Mexicans made up one-third to one-half of new citizens in California, Texas and Illinois, and in metro areas such as Houston and San Diego.
The Bay Area ranked behind behind only metropolitan New York and Los Angeles in the total number of new citizens. Metro San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont ranked fifth and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara came in 11th among individual U.S. metropolitan statistical areas.
