With all that happening it\u2019s important to remember that many people still dream of becoming Americans. Every week immigrants from all around the world take the oath of citizenship.\u201d He notes that since the ceremonies are typically held in boring places like libraries and classrooms, perhaps \u201cbecoming an American should be more exciting than a trip to the DMV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In honor of this idea Kimmel invited a group of \u201cbrand new Americans\u201d to celebrate in style on his stage. This involves an announcer bringing each new citizen out with an introduction in the style of WWE wrestlers. The six guests get into the vibe, dancing as they enter the stage. \u201cWelcome to this country,\u201d Kimmel tells them before inviting Paisley out to sing about the opportunities America offers.<\/p>\n<p>The country singer\u2019s tune includes the lyrics, \u201cCongratulations citizens\/ We\u2019re happy that you\u2019re here\/ Come on in and take a load off\/ Grab yourself an ice cold beer.\u201d He adds, \u201cYou can exercise your freedom of speech\/ eat a sticka\u2019 butter at a county fair\/ Wear your Crocs will a pair of socks\/ Go to Target in your underwear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concludes the celebration with a few lines from \u201cAmerica\u201d as an eagle mascot flies around the stage. \u201cCongratulations to our new fellow America citizens!\u201d Kimmel says as confetti shoots out all over the new patriots.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/brad-paisley-jimmy-kimmel-welcome-immigrants-868351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Becoming an American right now can be fraught with tension, but Jimmy Kimmel has an idea for how new citizens can feel more welcome in the USA.
