To establish grounds for revocation of citizenship and immigration status, to review certain asylum and refugee grants, and require repatriation of denaturalized individuals with their children, and for other purposes.
The Remigration Act would expand the government's authority to revoke citizenship and immigration status for various categories of people. The bill would allow the government to strip citizenship from naturalized citizens convicted of certain felonies, terrorism-related offenses, or fraud involving government benefits within ten years of becoming citizens, and would redefine birthright citizenship to exclude children born to undocumented immigrants. It would also establish a task force to review all asylum and refugee approvals from January 2021 to January 2025 with the ability to revoke those statuses, revoke the immigration status of nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen who entered in the past decade, and remove lawful permanent residents who received any means-tested public benefits in the prior five years. Additionally, the bill would terminate nonimmigrant visas for serious criminal convictions, make "anti-American beliefs" a deportable offense, require new English language proficiency standards for naturalization, and require that denaturalized individuals be deported together with their U.S.-born children. The bill provides no specific funding but directs implementation within 180 days for certain provisions.
