Fewer Immigrant Military Members Are Gaining Citizenship Under Trump

The video discusses the decline in military immigrants gaining U.S. citizenship under the Trump administration, highlighting a significant drop from 2016 to 2018. This trend is attributed to fewer military members and increased denial rates for naturalization applications. Key policy changes in 2017, such as extended vetting processes and service requirements, are identified as contributing factors. Despite these challenges, USCIS states its support for eligible non-citizen service members. Advocates argue that incentives for military service are diminishing, and some recommend applying for naturalization through civilian channels to expedite the process.
