Remigration Act

Key Points

• Naturalized citizens could lose their citizenship and be deported if convicted of certain crimes within 10 years of naturalizing, with the decision made by immigration officials rather than a judge.
• The bill would end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. unless a parent is a citizen, green card holder, or active-duty service member, reversing longstanding constitutional practice.
• A new task force would review every asylum grant, refugee admission, and status adjustment made between January 2021 and January 2025, with power to revoke status and trigger removal.
• Green card holders who received food stamps, Medicaid, or other means-tested benefits in the past five years would automatically lose their legal status and face deportation.
• The bill allows deportation of any immigrant for making statements the Department of Homeland Security decides are 'anti-American,' and requires a tougher standardized English test for citizenship applicants.
• If a parent is stripped of citizenship, their children, including those born in the U.S., must leave the country with them unless the other parent is a U.S. citizen who keeps custody.
