Congress should reintroduce and pass H.R. 2 from the previous Congress to secure the border - and the workplace - forever. Without E-Verify, the crushing burden of reversing the worst border crisis in history falls on ICE alone. With E-Verify, the jobs magnet disappears, and people who came illegally lose their biggest reason to remain here.

The previous Congress had an opportunity to stop the crisis in its tracks and prevent it from happening again. They missed their shot. This Congress must not make the same mistake.

The Optional Practical Training (OPT) and H-1B programs are designed to DISPLACE Americans and EXPLOIT foreign guest workers. Prominent voices across the political spectrum have acknowledged this, from Vice President Vance and Gov. DeSantis to Sen. Bernie Sanders, who wrote this in January:

The Department of Homeland Security issued a proposed new rule to regulate foreign students and exchange visitors, limiting the time they are allowed to stay in the United States. These measures will help reduce visa overstays and ensure that students are complying with the terms of their visa.

Smugglers and cartels will give a discount to migrant groups who have a minor with them because it makes their jobs easier. In some cases, they will even rent children to help customers avoid family detention.

The Trump Administration raided Glenn Valley Foods meatpacking plant in June and arrested 70 people working illegally under stolen identities. The story the owners want to tell (via the New York Times) goes like this: We followed the law; E-Verify doesn't work; we pay market wages; and the meatpacking industry can't survive without illegal labor.

The proprietor pleaded "guilty" but all of the customers now have citizen children thanks to an outdated policy, that - among all of the industrialized nations - only the U.S. and Canada continue.

The number of migrants trying to reach the U.S. illegally through Panama's Darien Gap - one of the most treacherous migrant corridors in the world - has plummeted to levels we haven't seen since the pandemic.

You'll find a good many politicians echoing DeSantis' points above, but we grade every Member of Congress on their actions! This is how we know who is truly committed to achieving a better immigration policy.
