People at USCIS are doing their job but for some reason democrats are still not able to digest their defeat from 2016. The only way for them to win in 2020 is whining about immigration and waste tax payers money on investigations.

Let me start by stating that I despise Trump. On the other hand, I agree that corporate democrats are unable to digest their defeat. Russia investigation was a scam. It completely diverted attention from the fact that Hillary was a terrible candidate, and corporate democrats are basically 1990s republicans with terrible vision. On the other hand please don't pretend that Republicans didn't waste taxpayer money with dumb investigations like Benghazi and 1000 repeal votes against Obamacare. 

 

As far as to this article, I just think the major increase in Naturalization approvals is simply driven by the massive increase in applications since Trump became president to gain citizenship protections from deportation and travel, not because Trump is benevolent towards immigrants. I also believe the backlogs in N400 applications is largely also driven by the same factor, not because of the sinister nature of the USCIS now that it is lead by the Trump administration. 

 

If the media focused on Trumps horrific tax, healthcare, trade and education policies rather than the dumb Russian investigation, he'd be defeated in a landslide in the next election. But they seem to be repeating 2016 with Joe Biden, who I predict will lose to Trump handily.

Be nice if tax payer money got wasted on investigations opposed to lining the pockets of corrupt.

This thread wasn't intended to be a political debate.  It is simply pointing out the fact that N-400 approvals are up...which is good news for all of us....

I think it's because more people are terrified of having their green cards taken away and wanting to be able to vote next time too.

I think being able to submit the application online has played a small catalyst role as well. But truth be told the volume of N400 applications have increased greatly since 2016.

People will be terrified only if they got their green cards through fraud otherwise there is no reason to be terrified.

Agreed, for the most part.  However, every time I leave the US, I have a little apprehension about my return, just because there is the chance (however slim) that I would be denied entry bc I am not a citizen.  My husband rolls his eyes at me every single time.  Also, I feel like anyone who obtained a gc fraudulently wouldn’t have the sense to be terrified bc they think they are smarter than the system they cheated.

no people will be terrified because people don't understand and the media misleads them.

Sorry to be bad news, but the Russia investigation was not a scam. if you read all 448 pages as i did you will know. Forget what the news said but read. Plus trump own high ranking people he trusted are sitting in Federal prison, plus over 20 Russian were indicted and many more. If you called that a scam then you need to remove your partisan glasses. Facts are facts. Plus all the USA intelligent agencies under the Trump administration said Russia meddled and interred in our elections. trump is the only one in denial.

Government waste money everyday. Democrats or republicans. It is always wasteful spending on both sides.

Thread that cannot help but remain political is moved from the US Immigration News forum to the Current Events forum.
