No Immigration Without Assimilation Act of 2026

Key Points

• The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to interview every immigration applicant, review their public statements, and interview their relatives to determine whether they are likely to assimilate into American culture before granting any immigration benefit.
• People could be denied entry to the U.S. or deported if they hold views the government considers incompatible with U.S. principles, are unlikely to assimilate, or if their presence is considered harmful to the country's cultural cohesion.
• The bill lists specific beliefs that would disqualify someone, including support for religious law replacing U.S. law, belief that political or religious violence is justified, preference for authoritarian government, and refusal to learn English.
• The government would have open-ended power to add new beliefs to the banned list. The Secretary of Homeland Security, working with the Secretary of State, could declare any additional belief incompatible with U.S. principles.
• These screenings would apply to virtually every immigration request, including applications to change, adjust, or extend any current legal status. This means people already living in the U.S. on visas could be affected when they try to renew or change their status.
