People flood to the states every year, 50,000 of those come via the green card lottery program. A green card is the first hurdle to US citizenship. A green card holder is allowed to live in the states for their entire life. Having permanent resident status also means that you can work and study in the US. There are still a few benefits that American citizens are entitled to that green card holders are not entitled to such as the following:

1. The ability to vote in elections.
