Racial disparities among U.S. permanent residents seeking citizenship
March 1, 2022
At the University of Southern California, the researchers reveals a new study that Black male immigrants are less likely to be approved for U.S. citizenship than White immigrants. The study analyzed over 2 million citizenship applications filed by U.S. permanent residents between October 2014 and March 2018. The researchers concluded that Black immigrants have been denied citizenship more often than any other racial and ethnic group. The data analyzed in the study did not provide details of the reasoning behind each application denial. This information would help determine what leads to the disparities.
