The bill is titled to address "certain aliens" and the text creates a path to status; later sections tie relief to employment and work-related requirements.

The House passed a major immigration bill in 2019 that would have expanded legal status for undocumented immigrants; Palmer voted against it in the roll call below.

Assessments

Palmer promised during the 2016 federal House campaign to oppose legislation granting work authorization to illegal aliens. While serving in the same continuing House office context, he voted Nay on H.R. 1603, whose text would have provided interim proof of employment authorization and allowed covered aliens or applicants to work. He also took opposing procedural action against H.R. 6. Because the promise was to oppose such legislation rather than enact a policy outcome, recorded opposition votes on relevant legislation count as delivery in the same federal office term context.

Palmer promised during his 2016 federal House campaign to oppose legislation granting work authorization to illegal aliens. While serving in the same federal office, he voted Nay on H.R. 1603 in 2021, a bill whose text would have provided interim proof of employment authorization and allowed covered applicants to accept employment. He also took an oppositional vote related to H.R. 6 in 2019. Because the promise was to oppose such legislation rather than secure enactment or repeal, these recorded House votes constitute delivery in office.
