The GOP's War on Naturalized Citizens' Right to Vote
The right to vote is a foundational promise of citizenship.
Over 800,000 people become naturalized U.S. citizens every year, taking the final step in an arduous process that includes continuous paperwork, background checks and oath of allegiance. Gaining the right to vote in U.S. elections is not only a core incentive, but a civic duty historically instilled into the naturalization process.
That right is now being tragically eroded.
In 2025, the Trump administration and GOP officials in key states have viciously targeted the voting rights of naturalized citizens with new access barriers, selective surveillance and intimidatory rhetoric — signaling that the full promises of citizenship, for many, remain unattainable.
