Six Great Immigration Solutions
The 119th Congress began on January 3, 2025. The success of this Congress to provide Americans with a better immigration policy will be measured by its ability to introduce and pass immigration bills in the categories below.
Mandate E-Verify
This immigration solution makes E-Verify permanent and mandatory within one year, and requires Social Security, Internal Revenue, and Homeland Security to collaborate on a program to identify unauthorized aliens, many of whom also commit some form of identity fraud or theft.
S. 1151, the Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act (Grassley)
This immigration solution makes E-Verify permanent and mandatory for all U.S. employers, phasing-in its use over a period of a few years. (See Enforcement Challenges: It’s illegal to hire an unauthorized worker…but legal to never verify that authorization.)
H.R. 251, Legal Workforce Act (Rep. Calvert)
Limit Birthright Citizenship
This immigration solution will end the practice of granting automatic “birthright citizenship” to children of tourists or aliens in the country illegally. (See ReEnvisioning: Value of U.S. Citizenship.)
H.R. 569, Birthright Citizenship Act (Rep. Babin)
S. 304, Birthright Citizenship Act (Sen. Graham)
