Enforcement
Any immigration system — no matter how well designed — only works if the rules mean something.
“Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave.”

Our Top Priority
Workplace Enforcement & E-Verify
You can't have credible immigration enforcement while turning a blind eye to illegal hiring.
The Problem
Illegal employment is easy to find, and law-abiding businesses are undercut by competitors who exploit unauthorized labor.
Visa holders who overstay also benefit — as long as illegal work is available, there’s no reason to leave.
What We Want
Require all employers to use E-Verify — the free federal system that verifies work authorization within seconds
Crack down on employers who knowingly hire illegal workers, with meaningful penalties
Require the Social Security Administration to alert workers when their number is being used by multiple employers — closing the identity theft loophole
Border Enforcement & Asylum Reform
The 2021–2025 border crisis released millions of inadmissible people into the country. It didn't have to happen — and the loopholes that made it possible are still on the books.
The Problem
Asylum — designed to protect people fleeing genuine state persecution — has been stretched and abused far beyond its original scope.
Loopholes around who qualifies, catch-and-release, and broad parole authority have allowed multiple administrations to admit millions who don’t qualify under law.
What We Want
Return asylum to its proper definition: people fleeing genuine state persecution, not generalized poverty or crime
Require people to seek asylum at a port of entry or apply while waiting in a safe neighboring country — not after crossing illegally
End the practice of releasing inadmissible people into the country while cases are pending
Restore strict, narrow limits on parole authority so it can’t be used to admit large groups wholesale
Apply equal standards to all unaccompanied minors and require sponsors to be vetted
