Trump’s government investigates fraudulent citizenships
The government suspects the creation of false citizenships
Previously, when the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) did not have high quality technology to verify immigrants’ identity and background, the procedures were simpler and this created many doubts about the veracity of the documentation.
Trump’s administration decided to start a relentless search for allegedly false citizenships. The President assures that millions of citizenships were processed with false information before 2017.
Therefore, the current administration implemented a plan to prosecute immigrants who have used false credentials and identifications to obtain legal citizenship in the US.
Official reports declare that there are around 1 million citizenships that could have fraudulent documentation. The government wants to analyze recent and even more than 5 years old residence permits.
The problem is that President Trump wants to continue this mission during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
This has generated great concern among political congregations and non-profit organizations.
They argue that the entire government effort should be aimed at saving the greatest number of lives and reducing the socioeconomic impact that the Coronavirus has left.
What is the purpose of the current government?
The current government is bent on eradicating illegal immigration entirely from the US.
The idea of this strategy is to be able to find all immigrants who have false identifications or who have obtained their citizenship illegally.
The purpose is for immigrants to obtain legal residency and therefore be able to contribute to the economic development of the country by paying annual taxes and working for local companies with fixed contracts.
The government wants to use all of its tools to demonstrate to foreigners that illegal immigration is not a good idea if they want to live in the US.
What will happen if they find false citizenships?
Immigrant rights advocates say that if the government finds cases of fraudulent citizenships, immigrants should have the chance to apply for truthful processes to avoid deportation during the current health crisis.
However, Trump’s government is most likely to decide to prosecute immigrants with fraudulent citizenships.
They must go to court to argue their evidence in front of a judge and the law will decide their fate in the US.
They could even be deported and banned from entering the country for a considerable period of time.
What is the best solution?
Government entities recommend that if you receive a notice to verify your citizenship, you should immediately contact an experienced immigration attorney.
It is always better to have specialized advice and avoid deportation.
Furthermore, the pandemic is an imminent risk for immigrants going through deportation process. The figures show that dozens of deportees tested positive on the COVID-19 exam.
Therefore, the best solution is to find the correct guidance, constant accompaniment for your immigration process and protect your family from any precarious situation.
