I would “oppose every attempt to grant amnesty” to immigrants who arrived here illegally.

"Among my very first actions upon taking office will be to stop the invasion of our country."

An RFK Jr. administration would "seal the border to illegal immigration... while expanding lawful, orderly immigration."

The US immigration system needs "comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship."

"Immigrants strengthen our communities. It’s time for... a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers."

The immigration system must be "radically simplif[ied] so people can come here, work, and become members of our communities without being relegated to the shadows."

"The Cornel West for President campaign for immigration justice is a call to action—a call to embrace our common humanity to extend our hands in solidarity with those who seek to share in our nation's promise."

A Jill Stein campaign will.... "[g]rant amnesty to every undocumented person in the United States, and implement a path to citizenship with expediency."

"Broader trends in consumer demand likely contributed to slowing job growth in those industries that are more exposed to undocumented workers (construction, leisure and hospitality, and other services). "

“The construction inflow of potential workers has been turned off.”

“With many undocumented construction workers self-deporting or simply not showing up to work anymore even though they remain in the country, many of these contractors haven’t replaced that talent.”

"A sudden contraction of that workforce would likely drive up food prices, exacerbate housing shortages, and strain already overburdened health care systems."

"Mass deportations would cause labor shortages in vital industries like agriculture, housing, and health care—raising costs for all Americans."

Will Current U.S. Immigration Policy Have a Measurable Economic Impact on U.S. Industries Such as Agriculture, Construction & Hospitality?

TSA agents are set to miss their first full paycheck this week, with absences more than doubling and hundreds of TSA workers reportedly having quit. More than 300 officers of the 50,000 working at U.S. airports have quit since the shutdown began, according to TSA.

Republicans attempted to pass a short term measure by unanimous consent to fund DHS while negotiations continue, which Democrats blocked. Democrats then attempted to pass measures to fund TSA, CISA, the Coast Guard and FEMA separately, which Republicans blocked.

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) said the White House made a "good faith" offer on Feb. 26 that "addresses many of the concerns" Democrats raised, including $20 million for body cameras and other reforms. Democrats have refuted characterization that they are refusing to negotiate, saying they are still seeking a “clear understanding” of proposed DHS reforms.

ICE has continued to receive funding during the 27-day partial shutdown due to provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Border control and immigration enforcement agencies are operating with additional funding approved separately by Republicans last year.

Republicans offered four separate stopgap bills to fund DHS and ensure TSA agents get paychecks, but Democrats blocked every single one while demanding separate votes that would defund immigration enforcement. Democrats are playing politics with national security while airport workers suffer and blue-state airports resort to crowdsourcing gift cards for TSA officers who may miss paychecks.

Republicans blocked five Democratic attempts to fund TSA, FEMA, cyber defenses and Coast Guard while holding TSA paychecks hostage to force more money for ICE with zero reforms. Republicans refuse to simply fund TSA without strings attached, instead tying it to ICE funding they know is gridlocked after agents killed two people in Minnesota.
