America needs secure borders and a functioning immigration system. Congress’ decades-long failure to strengthen our border and streamline lawful migration pathways has created a system that undermines the rule of law and fails to meet the needs of American families, workers, and entrepreneurs. We’re focused on permanent border security solutions and immigration policies for a more effective and fair system.
Essential for national security and are the first component of upholding the rule of law.
China is racing to get ahead. We are in a fierce global competition for breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and bioengineering. The United States must prioritize attracting the best minds from around the world to secure its leadership position and shape the ethical trajectory of these transformative technologies.
Our current immigration system, with its selectively enforced, confusing, and constantly changing regulations, incentivizes bad actors while penalizing law-abiding individuals. We must simplify these rules to create a system that benefits honest people while holding dangerous and unscrupulous individuals accountable.
We need regular reports from the Department of Homeland Security that are precise and easy to understand. It is equally important to prevent arbitrary decisions and violations of due process, which harm everyone’s confidence in the system.
Since 2023, the AFP Foundation has taken over 200 Americans to the border towns of Yuma, Arizona, and McAllen, Texas, where they talk to people on the ground (Border patrol agents, farmers, local business owners, volunteers, and even migrants, themselves) so they can better understand the challenges that border patrol faces and local realities of life along the border.
America’s security depends on the safe and lawful entry of people and goods. To achieve that, we must attract and retain more Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel, erect barriers in strategic locations, build roads along the border, and employ state-of-the-art technology to monitor our border. And we must listen to those closest to the problem for solutions.
