This bill adds terrorism-related requirements to the citizenship process. People applying for citizenship must swear they have not committed, and do not plan to commit, certain terrorism-related crimes. Naturalized citizens convicted of those crimes can lose their citizenship, be deported, and be permanently barred from returning.
This affects anyone applying for U.S. citizenship after the law takes effect, people who were already naturalized within a certain number of years before it passes, and any non-citizen convicted of the listed crimes.
A naturalized citizen convicted of a listed crime can be taken to court to have their citizenship removed, after which they can be deported and never allowed back into the country. Non-citizens convicted of these crimes would be permanently ineligible for green cards, asylum, and other immigration protections, with no exceptions allowed.
