But even as legions here and abroad pin their hopes on becoming American, and the country wrestles with emotionally fraught questions over who should have that right, there is a seemingly contradictory truth: that millions of people who are in the country legally, and stand on the threshold of citizenship, never take that next step. According to some estimates, about 40 percent of all people who hold green cards, the gateway to citizenship, do not naturalize.”
