Eighteen immigrants take oath to become U.S. citizens

Daniel McCarty came to the U.S. from Canada 13 years ago as a self-described college student with "absolutely nothing." Today, he describes the life he's built here quite differently, one that now includes a home, a family and his own business.
McCarty said he owes it all to the opportunities he's found in America, which is why on Monday he expressed much gratitude after becoming a U.S. citizen during a naturalization ceremony at the Rush H. Limbaugh Sr. U.S. Courthouse in Cape Girardeau.
"It's such a privilege for me to be a part of this," said McCarty, who lives in Poplar Bluff, Mo. "The opportunities available here are incredible. I just wanted to be a part of such a great country."
