Migrants need to be
vetted before they should be considered for citizenship based on merit. Slowing the process is necessary,
particularly for those who entered not based on merit. Those who are on welfare
should not be advanced. See article below:
Naturalize NOW campaign launched by activist group,
Trump slowing citizenship process they say, by Ann Corcoran, 9/4/18.
They charge that he is building a “second wall!” Here is what they say on their website:
The National Partnership for
New Americans claims
that the Trump Administration is purposefully slowing the citizenship process
for hundreds of thousands of migrants who are waiting to become US voters.
In
the last year, over 925,000 people applied for citizenship in the United
States. For many, this was years after coming to this country in search of a
better life, becoming an integral part of communities across the nation,
learning English, working hard, and contributing to their families and the
economy. The right to naturalize is a right as old as the nation itself and was
envisioned by its founders, created by the Constitution, and codified by
federal law. It
has also long contributed to the diversity, richness, and strength of the
nation.
Unfortunately, since the Trump administration took control of U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the federal agency that processes
citizenship applications, the backlog of pending naturalization applications
has skyrocketed to 729,400, with processing rates reaching as high as 20
months. The newest data from USCIS represents a
87.59% increase above the backlog of 388,832 applications, on December 31,
2015, during the administration of President Obama.
In response to the increasing backlog, NPNA and our partners in the
Naturalize NOW Campaign are launching a national campaign, in conjunction with the release of
this report update, to reduce the backlog and the waiting time for USCIS to
process applications to six months, consistent with past practice, and to
encourage naturalization for the millions of eligible LPRs.
Go here for
what they are telling people to do. You know that getting more people out to
vote for the fall election and for the Presidential election in 2020 is
critical to the Left’s agenda.
The
Trump Administration says there is nothing nefarious about the backlog, it is
simply a case of so many MORE immigrants seeking citizenship. See a
recent news story here. The NPNA will hold its annual
conference in Arlington, Virginia this year.
