America has lost control over its borders and its immigration system. Congress’s failure to strengthen our border and streamline lawful migration pathways 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 improving border security and immigration policies for a more effective and fair system.
Secure Border and Ports: Essential for national security and are the first component of upholding the rule of law.
Increase American Competitiveness: 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.
Clear and Predictable Rules: 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.
Transparency, Accountability, and Due Process: 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.
