No Immigration Without Assimilation Act of 2026
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to require assimilation likelihood screenings.
Summary
This bill would add new grounds for denying immigration benefits and deporting aliens based on an assimilation likelihood screening. Before granting any immigration benefit, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to conduct interviews with the applicant, review public statements, and interview relatives and associates to determine whether the applicant holds views incompatible with U.S. principles, is unlikely to assimilate to U.S. culture, or whose presence would be detrimental to U.S. cultural cohesion. The bill defines incompatible views to include beliefs that religious law should operate in the U.S., that violence is justified for political or religious reasons, that people should not have constitutional rights, that authoritarian government is superior to democracy, or that English fluency is unnecessary. Applications would be denied based on these criteria.
