NumbersUSA Action 2026 Candidate Survey
1. Support a Secure Border? Would you prevent future border crises by passing legislation like the House-passed H.R. 2 that would: 1) strengthen the credible fear standard to reduce asylum fraud; 2) detain or deny entry to all illegal aliens who attempt to enter the country; and 3) reduce administrative parole abuse by limiting its use to only specific and urgent humanitarian cases, as it was intended?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: I would improve the system by keeping the authority within the agencies and not allow changes by the executive. Throwing out vetted Afghans was a bad move.
2. Support Mandatory E-Verify? Should all employers be required to use the federal, automated, rapid-response system (E-Verify) to verify that U.S. jobs go to legal workers?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Only if this was not burdensome to employers.
3. Support Safeguards to Protect American Workers? Should Congress pass pro-American worker limits to the H-1B, H-2B, OPT, and other guest worker programs?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Only if those limits were really pro-American, and not just anti-others.
4. Support Ending Rewards for Illegal Immigration? Do you favor denying non-emergency public benefits, in-state tuition, refundable tax credits, driver’s licenses and other rewards for illegal immigration?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: If driver licenses keep roads safer, they are a reward to motorists!
5. Oppose Sanctuary Policies? Should Congress reduce funding to state and local governments that adopt sanctuary policies that protect criminal and illegal aliens?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Only if those guilty of serious crimes are protected.
6. Oppose Amnesty? Do you OPPOSE offering the estimated 14-20 million people living illegally in the U.S. a path to U.S. citizenship, work permits, and/or other rewards?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Not all of them. Only those who earn those privileges.
7. Support Clarifying Birthright Citizenship? Should the United States end the policy of giving automatic citizenship at birth to children when neither parent is a U.S. citizen, legal permanent resident, or active-duty military?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Only if that policy violates the Constitution.

[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Depends on those recommendations. Also we don’t know about that 70M number; too many other factors.
9. Support Ending Chain Migration? Should Congress implement bipartisan recommendations to limit family-based immigration to the nuclear family of spouse and minor children, thus eliminating the “chain migration” categories of extended family that are a key reason immigration has quadrupled since the 1960s?
[ x ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Not taking a position
Comments: Depends on the limits; will it mean deporting Melania’s parents?
10. Support Eliminating the Visa Lottery? Should Congress stop using a lottery to randomly give away 55,000 permanent green cards each year?
[ x ] Yes
