Immigration reform also means modernizing America’s outdated immigration policies- prioritizing high-skilled entrepreneurs and streamlining agricultural worker programs- helping create a legal workforce that will bolster the American economy
I will modernize immigration policy by prioritizing high-skilled entrepreneurs and streamlining agricultural worker programs.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. Lucas Applauds House Passage of 2026 Farm Bill. The page says Frank D. Lucas applauded House passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 and described it as reauthorizing critical research, rural development, and credit programs.
The Rules Committee page for H.R. 7567 lists amendment #32, sponsored by Rep. Steube, which would transfer administration of the H-2A program from the Secretary of Labor to the Secretary of Agriculture. The page also shows committee action and floor action on the bill in late April 2026.
Assessments
The evidence shows same-term activity around a farm bill and an H-2A agricultural worker amendment, but it does not show that Lucas delivered enacted immigration modernization, prioritized high-skilled entrepreneurs, or completed streamlined agricultural worker programs. The H-2A proposal was associated with another sponsor and appears to be legislative consideration rather than a finished outcome attributable to Lucas. Because there was some legislative movement related to the agricultural-worker portion but no delivered federal policy matching the promise, this should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
