Remigration Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to revoke the citizenship of naturalized citizens convicted of certain crimes, such as government benefits fraud or aggravated felonies, or found to have supported designated terrorist groups, within 10 years of becoming citizens. It would limit automatic citizenship at birth to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident, or a lawfully present member of the armed forces. It would create a task force to review asylum, refugee, and related status grants made from January 2021 to January 2025, and would revoke or allow revocation of immigration status for some groups, including permanent residents who received means-tested public benefits in the prior 5 years, nationals of six listed countries, noncitizens convicted of certain crimes, and people found to publicly espouse anti-American beliefs that threaten security. It would also require a standardized English test for naturalization, require denaturalized people to leave with their children, including U.S.-born children, and have citizenship revocations decided by an immigration agency rather than in court first.
