No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act of 2025

Summary

Bars naturalization for any noncitizen whose first entry into the United States was unlawful by adding an absolute ineligibility to the statute that governs naturalization. The change applies immediately upon enactment as an amendment to the cited provision and does not create funding, deadlines, or new agencies.

• Creates an absolute bar to naturalization for anyone whose first entry into the U.S. was unlawful.
• Applies "regardless of any other provision of the immigration laws," making the bar overriding and categorical.
• Takes effect immediately as an amendment to the existing naturalization statute upon enactment.
• Does not include exceptions, transitional provisions, or funding for implementation.
• Could block people who later obtained lawful status from becoming naturalized citizens.
• May increase the administrative burden on naturalization adjudicators to determine initial entry status.
• Is likely to generate legal disputes over definitions and proof of "unlawful initial entry."
• Does not change other immigration benefits or removal procedures on its face, but affects eligibility for naturalization.
