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.
Assessments
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.
