In a significant policy shift, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is enacting new guidelines aimed at preventing unauthorized migrants who have engaged in voter fraud from obtaining citizenship. The updated policy manual will now specifically bar any illegal migrant who has voted in an election or attempted to register to vote from gaining United States citizenship.
Under the new directives, any illegal migrant found to have committed a form of voter fraud will not only be denied citizenship but will also be placed in deportation proceedings. The policy also applies to individuals who have falsely claimed to be a United States citizen for any purpose, such as applying for a passport or a driver’s license. Keep in mind, you cannot get a driver’s license in many states without claiming to be a citizen.
