Center for
Homeland Security and Immigration
Our Nation’s unique heritage is a source of pride for all Americans, and our diversity of backgrounds is a major source of our national strength and greatness. From efforts to dissuade social integration of immigrants, to narratives proclaiming American iniquity, to abuse of our asylum system, we are witnessing an unprecedented assault on what has made our Nation great. The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) conducts research and develops policies to secure our borders, modernize our outdated ports of entry, and advance merit-based policies — first and foremost in the American interest.
Center for
American Security
The twin American victories in the Second World War and the Cold War established our country as “the last, best hope for man on earth.” Freedom’s cause in every part of the globe depends upon a strong America. With our country secure, we can, with greater confidence, advance American security abroad. American security is exemplified by a strong military, fair trade deals, alliances that are equitable, aggressors who are isolated, and those who harm us, destroyed. The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) examines American security abroad as a prerequisite for peace at home: always putting American interests first. This includes removing ourselves from endless, unnecessary wars in order to rebuild the homeland, while also understanding our indispensable role in maintaining a world at peace.
Center for
China Policy
For decades, D.C. insiders and Wall Street elites perpetuated the lie that American engagement with Communist China would cause that nation to open, to liberalize, and to reform. Even as evidence accumulated to the contrary, some benefitting from this deception continued to profit off of China at the expense of America’s stature and America’s workers. The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) researches and develops policies that study how decades of America’s accommodation of Communist China has nurtured an existential rival to our Nation and our livelihood as we know it.
Center for
Election Integrity
The foundation of the American system of self-governance is liberty — and the core expression of the people’s liberty is the ability to vote in free and fair elections. Safeguarding the integrity of our elections is paramount to preserve our republic. Attempts by the federal government to impose a one-size-fits-all scheme for elections undermine our core principles of self-governance and federalism. The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) will conduct research and develop policies in the field of election integrity as it undergoes profound changes including technology, mobility and social media.
