Demitri and Aleki moved to the United States from Greece several years ago. Demitri has completed the naturalization process. Aleki is a permanent resident. What is the difference between their statuses?

Completing naturalization makes Demitri a U.S. citizen, so he has the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, including voting in federal elections. Aleki’s permanent-resident status allows him to live and work in the United States, but he is not a citizen and faces some restrictions, such as not being able to vote in federal elections. Therefore, the difference is that Demitri has the rights of a citizen while Aleki faces some restrictions.
