The bill would make it harder to become a U.S. citizen by requiring immigrants to receive instruction about the oath of allegiance and constitutional principles before naturalization, and it would create stricter penalties for anyone who lies or hides information during the citizenship application process. These changes would affect people seeking to become citizens and could slow down the naturalization process by adding new educational requirements.
