Citizenship test with stricter English language |
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced July 19 that it was redesigning its citizenship test, which immigrants must pass before becoming U.S. citizens.The revised test will undergo pilot studies before formally rolling out in December 2020 or early 2021. Immigration rights advocates expressed concern that a revision of the test would exclude many applicants from becoming citizens. Manju Kulkarni, executive director of the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council, said, “There`s no question that the Trump administration is choosing a path that makes it harder to come to the U.S., and harder to become a U.S. citizen. This is part and parcel of his attacks on immigrants and people of color. The Indian American community activist said, referring to President Donald Trump`s recent series of tweets in which he urged four freshman Democratic congresswomen to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can`t leave fast enough.”
