Summary/Abstract: Citizenship and nationalism are closely connected to each other. They are influenced as well by each other. I have attempted to give an overview of these issues in two case studies, the USA and Albania, despite the difficulty in analysing them. The main issues I have treated are related to the historical background which influenced in the perceptions of these two terms in accordance to the two cases. The legislation as well is of great importance to be taken into study. A comparative study of both of them, is being elaborated in the article. The next issues concerned with nationalism and citizenship is the natives concerns to the newcomers and the way it is being perceived by the governmental authorities. Facts and figures supply this article to testify the numbers of citizen increase and the impact of the new citizens in the welcoming situation.
