Immigration
PROPOSED / DRAFT — IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY & CITIZENSHIP
POSITION
America can have secure borders, functioning legal immigration, lawful asylum, due process, and a meaningful path to American citizenship.
WHY THIS MATTERS
A system that cannot control entry, promptly decide lawful claims, remove dangerous offenders through due process, or process legitimate applicants reliably undermines public confidence and harms citizens, lawful immigrants, asylum seekers, and border communities.
BORDER SECURITY & PORTS OF ENTRY
MPA supports:
Modernized ports of entry
Personnel, inspection capacity, communications, and technology matched to documented operational needs
Priority enforcement against cartels, human traffickers, smugglers, and criminal organizations
Detection of weapons, dangerous drugs, fraudulent documents, and trafficking activity
Transparent standards for custody, medical screening, family handling, evidence preservation, and complaints
Resources should be directed according to measured crossings, trafficking routes, wait times, seizure patterns, and public-safety risk rather than political theater.
ASYLUM & IMMIGRATION ADJUDICATION
Asylum and removal cases should receive timely screening, access to interpreters, notice of the claim or charge, access to the evidence permitted by law, a reasoned decision, and meaningful review. Government should expand adjudicative capacity where backlogs prevent fair and timely decisions.
Clearly meritorious and clearly unsupported claims should both be resolved faster. Fraud should be investigated, but delay should not become policy.
REMOVAL & PUBLIC SAFETY
Dangerous criminals without lawful status should be prioritized for removal through due process. Enforcement should distinguish serious public-safety threats and organized crime from technical or low-level violations, while applying the law consistently.
LEGAL IMMIGRATION
Lawful immigration and citizenship processes should be simplified, modernized, and accelerated while preserving security checks, accurate records, fraud prevention, due process, and equal application of the law.
Applicants should receive clear requirements, case status, notice of missing information, expected processing standards, written decisions, and a workable correction or appeal process.
CITIZENSHIP, INTEGRATION & SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The path to citizenship should require meaningful civic integration and respect for the Constitution, equal rights, American law, and peaceful constitutional republican government. Policy should emphasize good character, lawful conduct, participation in American society, and reasonable self-sufficiency.
American Civic Integration & Constitutional Allegiance
America is a constitutional republic that protects representative self-government, lawful democratic elections, and the peaceful transfer of power. A person seeking permission to immigrate to or remain in the United States must accept the American constitutional civic order. Integration does not require abandoning harmless religion, ancestry, language, food, dress, family tradition, or cultural heritage. It requires accepting the law, rights, responsibilities, and civic foundations of the country the person asks to join.
Admission and continued lawful noncitizen status require acceptance of all seven commitments:
The Constitution and the rule of law.
Equal civil rights and equal legal dignity for men and women and for every person protected by American law.
Freedom of religion, speech, conscience, association, and peaceful disagreement.
A constitutional republic that upholds representative government, lawful democratic elections, and peaceful transfers of power.
Rejection of terrorism, political violence, forced marriage, honor violence, human trafficking, slavery, religious coercion, and violent overthrow of constitutional government.
Respect for personal liberty, property, lawful contracts, due process, and the equal application of American law.
Good-faith progress in English and American civics, with reasonable age and disability accommodations.
A person who deliberately and materially rejects any one of these seven commitments after admission loses permission to remain in the United States. Rejection must be established through clear and convincing evidence of the person's own material conduct, knowing support for prohibited violent or coercive activity, material fraud in the immigration process, express repudiation of the required civic compact, or refusal to complete an applicable integration requirement. An isolated mistake, lawful criticism of the government, disagreement with a particular official or policy, peaceful protest, protected religious observance, or good-faith political debate does not by itself establish rejection.
The person receives written allegations, access to the material evidence consistent with lawful security protections, an opportunity to respond, counsel at the person's expense, an impartial decision, and the MPA 30/30/30 decision, appeal, and complaint process. After a final order, lawful noncitizen status ends and removal must occur within 30 calendar days, subject only to completion of a criminal sentence, a court-ordered stay, or the practical requirement that a receiving country accept the person. Government must pursue execution of the order rather than allowing administrative delay to become permanent residence.
This continued-status rule applies to noncitizens. Once citizenship has been lawfully obtained, loss of citizenship is governed only by the separate voluntary-renunciation and National Betrayal constitutional-amendment standards.
Voluntary Renunciation of Citizenship
A competent adult American may voluntarily, knowingly, and formally surrender United States citizenship and leave the country. Government does not decide whether the person loves or hates America. The choice must be the person's own, made through a clear process that explains the loss of the right to enter, reside, work, vote, hold office, or claim citizen benefits.
Renunciation does not erase taxes, lawful debts, restitution, child support, military obligations already incurred, criminal jurisdiction, or liability for conduct committed before citizenship ended. Coercion, fraud, incapacity, or a materially defective proceeding permits judicial review. National betrayal and involuntary citizenship forfeiture are addressed only through the separate constitutional amendment.
Access to non-earned taxpayer-funded welfare for new immigrants should be substantially restricted, subject to constitutional requirements and narrowly defined emergency or humanitarian needs. Earned benefits, emergency care, protection for children, lawful refugee or asylum obligations, and legally required exceptions must be addressed transparently.
Come to America. Become an American. Help us make America stronger.
WHAT WE WILL MEASURE
Public reporting should track border encounters, port wait times, trafficking prosecutions, dangerous-drug seizures, custody incidents, asylum and immigration case times, backlog size, decision reversals, legal-immigration processing, fraud findings, removals of serious offenders, and citizenship completion.
Citizenship and Immigration Integrity
Birth Tourism and Visa Fraud
Pregnancy, childbirth, or seeking lawful medical care is not itself immigration fraud. Enforcement applies when a visa applicant or commercial operator knowingly makes a material false statement, submits fabricated financial or travel records, conceals the actual purpose of travel when disclosure is legally required, or organizes a scheme designed to evade immigration law.
Commercial birth-tourism operators that knowingly coach or assist material visa fraud may face civil penalties, loss of licenses, restitution, and criminal prosecution under otherwise applicable fraud or conspiracy laws.
Investigations must be based on evidence of fraud or organized evasion, not ethnicity, nationality, pregnancy, or the lawful use of medical services.
A person accused of fraud receives notice of the allegation, access to the material evidence, an opportunity to respond, and ordinary administrative or judicial review.
Enforcement against an adult or commercial operator does not alter the citizenship or legal rights of a child under the Constitution and controlling law.
Organized Citizenship Exploitation
Federal agencies should investigate large-scale schemes involving forged documents, sham financial arrangements, bribery, trafficking, or coordinated material misrepresentation. Agencies must publish aggregate enforcement data and distinguish proven fraud from lawful travel and childbirth.
Citizenship for Sovereign Public Authority
Federal and state law should require United States citizenship for elected office, judges, prosecutors, sworn law-enforcement officers, senior executive officials, national-security decision-makers, and officials who independently exercise coercive regulatory power. Limited technical, scientific, medical, or advisory work that does not independently exercise sovereign authority may remain open to lawfully authorized noncitizens, subject to security and conflict-of-interest rules.
DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
The MPA immigration framework is implemented through two additional policies:
American Workers, Skilled Immigration & Sensitive Domestic Functions: domestic recruitment, wage protection, the H-1B employer fee, United States credential testing, sensitive-work restrictions, and the lawful residency contribution pathway.
Noncitizen Enforcement, Eligibility & Removal: criminal accountability, thirty-day removal after a final executable order, the unlawful-presence assessment, benefit and license restrictions, employer penalties, and due process.
Citizens-only voting and twice-yearly voter-registration audits are addressed in Elections, Redistricting & Political Competition.
EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION VERIFICATION
Every employer should verify the identity and work authorization of each new employee through a free, modernized federal E-Verify or successor system.
The system must:
Return an initial result within three business days.
Provide notice and a prompt correction process for an erroneous result.
Permit provisional employment while a good-faith correction is pending.
Prohibit adverse action before a final determination.
Collect only information necessary to verify employment eligibility.
Maintain audit records while preventing the system from becoming a general surveillance database.
A disputed result must receive a written final decision within 30 calendar days, an independent appeal decision within the next 30 calendar days, and any administrative complaint or independent review within the next 30 calendar days. On day 91, administrative remedies are exhausted and judicial review is available.
Employers that knowingly hire unauthorized workers remain subject to the civil and criminal consequences already established in MPA policy. Employees and employers should not be punished for a government database error they promptly attempt to correct.
