WASHINGTON, June 18 (UPI) -- Michelle Obama said the United States is "still very much a nation of immigrants," and called for reform as she welcomed 50 new citizens Wednesday.
Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who administered the oath of citizenship, presided at a ceremony at the National Archives. Joanne Ferreira, a spokeswoman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said the 50 new citizens were selected at random from candidates living in the Washington area and are from 44 countries.
