Sponsor: Rep. Kustoff, David [R-TN-8] (Introduced 04/22/2021). Latest Action: House - 10/19/2021 Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship. The bill prohibits certain Chinese citizens from receiving visas to participate in graduate or post-graduate studies in STEM and contains other related provisions.

Kustoff did introduce immigration-adjacent legislation that moved into the immigration subcommittee, showing some concrete effort on visa policy, but this did not enact broader legal-immigration reform and the bill remained introduced.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promise was a broad federal commitment to keep fixing the immigration system so rule-following legal immigrants could become productive members of society. The evidence shows Kustoff later sponsored immigration-adjacent visa legislation in 2021, but it was narrow, restrictive, did not pass, and did not deliver broader legal-immigration reform. Because there was a concrete legislative attempt related to immigration but no enacted promised outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.

never unknown A for effort

The promise was to continue fixing the immigration system so rule-following legal immigrants could become productive members of society. The available evidence shows campaign support for legal immigration and some later immigration-adjacent legislative activity, including Kustoff sponsoring the SECURE CAMPUS Act of 2021, but that bill did not become law and was narrower and more restrictive than the promised broad legal-immigration reform. I found no evidence that Kustoff delivered an enacted reform matching the promised outcome. Because there was at least a concrete legislative attempt related to immigration policy, the effort badge is warranted, but the promised result was not delivered.
