From the official mission statement for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
The statement now reads: “USCIS upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.”
Noticeably missing from the statement were some changes that the agency made under President Trump including the aforementioned terms “lawful immigration,” “protecting Americans,” along with “securing the homeland.”
In 2018, the USCIS had removed the phrase “nation of immigrants” from its mission statement, instead focusing on their job to promote legal immigration “while protecting Americans.”
