The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services offices have been closed to the public since mid-March. During that period, 60,000 immigrants per month have been unable to take the oath of citizenship, precluding them from a variety of their hard-earned benefits.

In particular, not being able to vote has caused the greatest outcry from immigration reform advocates. They assert the delays are a deliberate effort to lock out new voters from participating in the 2020 elections.

The government cites existing regulations and health concerns undermine their current go slow policy.

This podcast explores the basis of these conflicting positions.
