Policy Priorities
SECURE THE BORDER
A nation without borders is no nation at all. At one time, physical border barriers were considered a commonsense and bipartisan approach to securing our homeland.END HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Human trafficking is extremely lucrative to those who seek to gain from enslaving others. It accounts for an estimated $150 billion in annual global profits and is far more prevalent than many realize.DEFEAT THE CARTELS
The Mexican drug cartels are public enemy #1 to the American people and they are trafficking a record number of migrants and fentanyl across the southern border.
The America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) Center for Homeland Security & Immigration is devoted to protecting the American people, American interests, and the American way of life. Our “America First” approach requires an immigration system that prioritizes border security and the value of citizenship, a strong and persistent counter-terrorism effort, resiliency of our critical physical and digital infrastructure, and agility in the face of ever-shifting foreign threats and influence.
As our world becomes more complex, so do the threats we face. Terrorism remains a global reality, and America’s ability to prevent attacks in the United States is only as strong as its weakest link at any given moment. America’s enemies no longer need to physically come to our shores to hurt us in the digital age. Threats that strike at the heart of our infrastructure—and, therefore, our civilization—can be achieved with the touch of a button from anywhere in the world. In some cases, these threats are sponsored or shielded by foreign governments; in some cases, they are foreign governments. While these threats are omnipresent, courageous leadership at all levels of government and society is essential for success and security.

The Biden-Harris Administration’s Unprecedented Expansion & Abuse of Temporary Protected Status
What is TPS? Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is supposed to be a temporary form of relief for aliens when an ongoing armed conflict, natural disaster, or “extraordinary and temporary conditions” make it unable for them to safely return to their home country. Aliens with TPS are generally not removable and are able to obtain work authorization.
