• The Biden administration this week opened the path to citizenship for immigrants with mental disabilities so great that they can’t learn basic English or pass a U.S. civics test.
• The changes are raising new questions that enemies of the nation may claim mental disabilities to skirt requirements to swear loyalty to the United States or demonstrate they have good moral character.
• “It’s one thing to promote policies that encourage naturalization and make it accessible, but these new rules cross the line, diluting the requirements in a way that potentially will lead to abuse of the system,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies.
• “We do not necessarily want to bar disabled immigrants from becoming citizens, but we should want the government to have appropriate rules to make sure that the attestations that naturalization applicants make are meaningful and made in good faith,” Vaughan said.
