USCIS

We must ensure all aliens applying for citizenship understand the rights and privileges of becoming a U.S. citizen, adequately understand the English language, and ultimately demonstrate an attachment to the Constitution of the United States.

"This criminal organization operated a front for fake asylum claims, churning out frivolous applications around the country." - USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow With our help, 12 people have been indicted in this multi-million dollar smuggling ring. https://lnkd.in/ebvjgeSr

Our robust screening and vetting uncovered a criminal alien applying for a Green Card at our Orlando office. In Brazil, the alien was part of a criminal organization involved in money laundering, financial crimes, and larceny by fraud. He's now in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody awaiting deportation.

"The current public charge inadmissibility policy reinforces the longstanding principle that individuals seeking admission to the U.S. or adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident must be able to support themselves financially or rely on the resources of their families, their sponsors, and private organizations, and not become a burden on U.S. taxpayers by relying on public resources." -- USCIS Spokesperson Matthew Tragesser https://lnkd.in/ezbB_Et4

We encourage all aliens in the U.S. illegally to self-deport using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Home App. You’ll receive a complimentary plane ticket home, a $1,000 exit bonus upon your return home, and any unpaid fines for failing to depart previously will be forgiven.

“We’re looking for attachment to the Constitution, we’re looking for an understanding of the civic responsibility of being a U.S. citizen, we’re looking for actual understanding and ability to read and speak and write the English language." - USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow   https://lnkd.in/eR4BuGJi

Our new law enforcement authority will streamline processes and help us address fraud in the nation's immigration system.
