NOW: 131 become U.S. citizens at MATC downtown campus

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – More than 100 people in Milwaukee spent part of their day becoming U.S. citizens.

MATC hosted the ceremony at its downtown campus on Thursday.

People originally from more than 44 countries took the oath of allegiance. One man told CBS 58 he’s been waiting ten years for this day.

In keeping with tradition, the National Anthem was also performed.
