No Immigration Without Assimilation Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct an "assimilation likelihood screening" before granting any immigration application, including an interview, a review of the applicant's public statements, and, where feasible, interviews with relatives and others. Applicants found to hold views the bill defines as incompatible with U.S. principles, to be unlikely to assimilate, or whose presence would harm U.S. culture or cultural cohesion would be denied. The bill lists such views, including support for religious law in the U.S., belief that political or religious violence is justified, preferring authoritarian government over representative democracy, and not intending to learn English. It would also make people meeting these criteria inadmissible to the U.S. and deportable.
