Here’s what Trump is planning now.
President Donald Trump is making big changes to America’s immigration system — and this time, it’s legal immigration under the microscope.
Citizenship Test to Get Tougher Under Trump Plan
The new head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Joseph Edlow, says the current citizenship test is too easy — and that’s about to change.
“The test right now is simple memorization. It doesn’t reflect the true spirit of becoming an American,” Edlow said in an interview Thursday.
The Trump administration is bringing back a more challenging version of the test, one that was originally introduced during Trump’s first term but later scrapped by President Joe Biden.
Visa Program Reform to Protect American Jobs
In another bold move, the Trump administration will overhaul the H-1B visa program — which allows companies to bring in skilled foreign workers.
Edlow says the visa process will now favor workers who earn higher salaries — helping stop companies from using the program to replace American workers with cheaper labor.
“The H-1B should supplement, not supplant, U.S. jobs,” Edlow emphasized.
This major shift puts the focus back on protecting American workers — a key promise of Trump’s America First agenda.
Trump Admin Closes Loopholes in Legal Immigration
These efforts come as part of a broader push to restore order to the immigration system. While the Biden administration encouraged mass asylum claims, the Trump team is now repurposing Biden’s immigration app to help illegal immigrants voluntarily leave the country.
This is the same no-nonsense, pro-worker approach that earned President Trump widespread support in 2016 — and it’s back, stronger than ever.
Backlash from Tech Elites Falls Flat
Trump’s plan has drawn criticism from globalist tech figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who previously defended the H-1B program. But America First voters aren’t backing down.
The Trump base continues to push for policies that prioritize American families, American jobs, and American values.
Bottom Line
President Trump is once again leading with bold action. By cracking down on both illegal and abused legal immigration, he’s standing up for working-class Americans and securing the future of our nation — something the Biden administration failed to do.
