Expands the grounds for revoking citizenship from naturalized Americans who defraud government programs, join foreign terrorist organizations, or commit certain serious crimes within 10 years of naturalization.

• Treats association with a foreign terrorist organization, fraud of at least $10,000 against a government benefit program, or an aggravated felony or espionage offense within 10 years of naturalization as prima facie evidence that the person lacked good moral character and was not attached to the Constitution at naturalization.
• Treats the naturalization order as obtained by concealment or willful misrepresentation, revoking it and canceling the certificate retroactively to the original date.
• Sets the 10-year period at 5 years if a final court decision holds the 10-year period unconstitutional.
• Makes a person whose citizenship is canceled removable through expedited proceedings, regardless of current immigration status or the time elapsed since naturalization.
