Congress has three months left to deliver on border security, E-Verify and lower numbers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics issued its latest report this morning. More than 17 million people are either unemployed, working part-time for economic reasons, or want a job but haven’t actively looked in recent weeks.

Your Senators now have a bill that would end chain migration and the visa lottery. Sen. Tommy Tuberville introduced the Americans First Immigration Act (S. 5485) this week.

The immigration surge from 2021-2025 was the largest in U.S. history, doubling down on a broken promise that Washington, D.C. has left unacknowledged and unaddressed for sixty years. Voters decisively backed immigration reductions in the 2024 elections. The Dignity Act flies in the face of that mandate. We have an alternative vision.

Abolishing ICE would be a radical step toward open borders. Tackling the border crisis with ICE alone is an unsustainable strategy. But these aren’t the only two options. The entire burden of the border crisis cannot be placed on the shoulders of the men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

These insane ideas would supercharge a mass immigration surge even worse than the 2021-2025 border crisis. They show no regard for the millions of Americans who want a full-time job but can’t find one — or for the tens of millions who are stranded outside the labor force. These bills would bury them.
