Reasons That May Lead to Disqualification from Citizenship
Gálvez pointed out that a serious crime, several petty crimes, or drug trafficking could prevent a person from gaining access to the citizenship envisaged in the new immigration reform. “Other than that, it’s very premature to throw in the towel or celebrate without bases. There is nothing until the reform is completed and there is no time for that. At the moment there are more questions than answers, ”said the lawyer.
And is that the immigration laws proposed by President Joe Biden are only in the “ draft stage, ” and even this week the White House announced that the Democrat would not sign immigration orders, despite speculation he would do so last Friday.

People with a previous deportation
In addition, Gálvez pointed out that a deportation or warrant is not an automatic disqualification and set a precedent for the 1986 amnesty law.
“Even when they are deported, their moral behavior counts a lot, the roots they have laid, the children they have in the country and that they can prove they lived here. A deportation is not an automatic disqualification, ”the lawyer assured, according to the Los Angeles newspaper.

Gálvez also assured that “you can’t sell something that doesn’t exist,” when he warned of some undocumented immigrants trying to “anticipate” the reform’s approval.
“That’s not how things work. I’m asking you not to give anybody money for a legalization that we still don’t know is going to happen,” the lawyer confirmed.
