That slowdown has a price.

So typically refugees come, they have refugee status for their first year.

They can apply to get their green cards at a year, and it can take a couple of years to actually get that card.

And then at five years, if they have the card, they can apply for citizenship.

Under the big, beautiful bill, refugees who do not have their green card in their hand are going to lose their public benefits.

And so most immigrants are not allowed to apply for public benefits, but refugees have an exception.

One

actually new change that hasn't been officially ruled out, it's in the comment period, is the administration has now increased the fees to become a U.S. citizen by 60 to 70 percent.
