Abstract
This Essay explores how disability factors into immigration and citizenship law by focusing on three naturalization cases that reveal aspects of the “good moral character” element. A noncitizen’s own disability has been used as grounds for exclusion since the earliest immigration laws. Yet, as it turns out, noncitizens who participate in the eugenic mission of immigration law have been greatly rewarded.
