No Immigration Without Assimilation Act of 2026

This bill proposes significant amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act, introducing a mandatory assimilation likelihood screening for all individuals applying for any immigration benefit. The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to conduct interviews with applicants, review their public statements, and potentially interview relatives to assess their compatibility with U.S. principles and culture. The primary goal of these screenings is to determine if an alien holds views incompatible with the United States, is unlikely to assimilate, or if their presence would be detrimental to the nation's cultural cohesion. Under these proposed changes, aliens found to meet these criteria would be deemed inadmissible to the United States and also subject to deportation if already present. The bill explicitly defines several views as incompatible with U.S. principles, such as believing religious law should supersede U.S. law, justifying violence, disregarding constitutional rights, or preferring authoritarian governments. It also includes the belief that learning English is unnecessary if not already fluent, and mandates the denial of any immigration benefit application for those failing the screening.
