Trump’s USCIS Strengthens Evaluation for Foreign Nationals Seeking American Citizenship

President Donald Trump’s United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is strengthening its evaluation standard for foreign nationals seeking naturalized American citizenship.

“U.S. citizenship is the gold standard of citizenship — it should only be offered to the world’s best of the best,” USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser told Breitbart News.

USCIS Director Joseph Edlow issued a memo titled “Restoring a Rigorous, Holistic, and Comprehensive Good Moral Character Evaluation Standard for Aliens Applying for Naturalization” to improve the agency’s good moral character determinations when a foreign national is looking to secure citizenship.

“Today, USCIS is adding a new element to the naturalization process that ensures America’s newest citizens not only embrace America’s culture, history, and language but who also demonstrate Good Moral Character,” Tragesser said.

The updated policy comes as Edlow recently told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that former President Joe Biden’s administration had truncated vital security questions in the naturalization process to hurry the pace of foreign nationals securing citizenship.
