The proposal would require immigration officials to assess whether people applying to enter or stay in the United States are likely to assimilate into American society, adding a new screening step to the immigration process. Immigration applicants could potentially be denied entry or residency based on how officials evaluate their likelihood of adopting American values, language, and customs. This would affect immigrants seeking visas, green cards, or citizenship, as well as the government agencies responsible for processing their applications.
