Why are fewer immigrants becoming citizens?

Fewer immigrants are becoming citizens due to a combination of factors, including increased complexity and cost of the naturalization process, changes in Immigration policies, and a growing sense of uncertainty regarding immigration enforcement. Additionally, some immigrants may feel more secure in maintaining their status without pursuing citizenship, especially if they believe it does not significantly enhance their quality of life or opportunities. Economic challenges and the fear of potential political repercussions can also deter immigrants from seeking citizenship.
