For those in our country who are not committing crimes or have been in the US since they were children, we should create a pathway to legal status (not citizenship).
Create a pathway to legal status, but not citizenship, for certain non-criminal undocumented immigrants and those brought to the U.S. as children.
Occurrences
Evidence
Representative Beth Van Duyne and other North Texas members sent a letter urging a coordinated, interagency investigation into reported H-1B fraud activities in North Texas, saying the abuse "must be stamped out" and calling for enforcement of immigration laws.
The current press-release archive lists June 8, 2026 creator-economy coverage and June 3, 2026 CREATOR Act legislation as the newest items; no June 11-13 immigration-legalization action appears in the archive view.

Assessments
The evidence points the opposite direction: Van Duyne’s documented federal activity focused on immigration enforcement and visa-fraud investigations, not on creating a legalization pathway for undocumented immigrants or DACA-age arrivals. There is no sign in the provided record that she introduced, sponsored, or materially advanced a policy matching the promise, so the claim was not fulfilled.
The promised federal outcome was a legalization pathway without citizenship for certain non-criminal undocumented immigrants and childhood arrivals. Available evidence shows Van Duyne has not enacted, sponsored, or materially advanced such a pathway; her documented immigration activity in office is enforcement-focused, including efforts to investigate visa fraud and restrict assistance tied to illegal immigration. No federal law or credited candidate action delivered the promised legal-status pathway during her term.
