Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Strengthening Public Integrity: Section 2 revokes the citizenship of naturalized individuals who commit fraud against government programs, support terrorism, or are convicted of aggravated felonies within ten years of naturalization, which aims to hold people accountable for breaking the law.
-
Promoting Language Skills: Section 9 requires naturalization applicants to demonstrate functional English literacy through a standardized assessment, which ensures new citizens can fully engage in everyday English usage.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
-
Loss of Citizenship and Status: Section 2 and Section 5 strip citizenship or immigration status from individuals, including those from designated countries like Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen who entered the country in the prior ten years, causing sudden displacement and uncertainty.
-
Family Separation and Repatriation: Section 10 requires denaturalized individuals to repatriate along with their dependent children, including children who were born in the United States, unless the other parent is a U.S. citizen retaining custody.
-
Review and Revocation of Asylum: Section 4 creates a task force to review and potentially terminate asylum and refugee grants made between 2021 and 2025, which could strip protections from people who previously sought safety in the United States.
-
Loss of Residency for Receiving Benefits: Section 6 revokes the lawful permanent resident status of anyone who received means-tested public benefits within the five-year period prior to the enactment of the Act.
