America gives citizenship to ILLEGAL immigrants? No they don't, stop lying! To get citizenship in America you have to have lived in the country with LEGAL documantation for a minimum of 5 years (among other things). Maybe there are cases where some people over stayed a visa before getting their legal docummentation, who were then later given citizenship. But that is not the same as "giving an illegal immigrant citizenship right away."

Oh my god….. see what I mean dude was never born in Spain That’s why he’s smiling and laughing He’s not the first Spain champion, He was born in German as Georgian He never even had a resident card for Spain lol Spain is just rolling with it to use him as token for the country fame lol now we know Spainlame Is a joke for this
