Very well.

If I could become a US citizen for free (and I can't, by the way), would you drop your objection?

Edit for your edit:

I'm using the words protectionists like yourself have commonly used.

Other than the application costs, I think it is more or less free to become a US citizen.

It takes years, can cost thousands of legal fees (not something you want to mess up) and typically starts with a work visa like an H1B.

You keep avoiding the question, so I'll restate it differently.

If everyone on the H1B could become a US citizen instantly, at no cost, would that remove your objection?

My wife is about to become a citizen. It took her 17 years. And she's Canadian.
