Support expanded legal immigration while curtailing illegal immigration

Commitment to back legal immigration expansion and reduce illegal immigration.

Ed's Agenda - Ed Case for Congress
campaign · campaign_site · model gpt-5.4-mini

I will continue to work with likeminded Members of Congress to advocate for ICE and CBP reforms. We need to enforce our immigration laws, but we cannot do so by surrendering our values.

Case commits to keep working with other lawmakers on ICE and CBP reforms and to enforce immigration laws without sacrificing core values.

Evidence

Case said DHS’s proposed rule would impose “onerous additional data collection requirements” on visa applicants, called it “a fundamental shift in the entry process for lawful travelers,” and warned it could chill travel from allies and partners.

Concrete action in favor of making lawful entry easier or less burdensome, which supports the legal-immigration half of the claim.

Contest this evidence item

Case announced House passage of a DHS funding bill that funds DHS for FY 2026 except immigration enforcement in ICE and CBP, and said the bill would include stronger oversight of ICE and related offices.

This is a concrete immigration-related vote and statement, but it does not clearly show support for curtailing illegal immigration; it is more consistent with reforming enforcement than with a direct border-enforcement push.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The evidence shows Case took concrete same-term action supporting the legal-immigration side of the promise by opposing added burdens on lawful visa applicants. The DHS funding evidence shows immigration-related oversight and funding action, but it does not establish that he delivered or clearly advanced curtailment of illegal immigration. Because the promise has two linked components and the record only substantiates one clearly, this is partial rather than delivered. The effort badge is warranted because he made serious legislative or oversight-related efforts on immigration policy.
