A top Trump administration official said on Thursday that he is working to make the U.S. citizenship test more difficult, saying the current version is “just too easy.”
Speaking at an event in Washington on Thursday hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, a conservative think tank, Joseph Edlow, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, argued that the test allows for people to be “coached” through the immigration process who may not qualify for citizenship under U.S. law.
Edlow first floated the idea in an interview with The New York Times in July.
