Reform asylum rules and prioritize merit-based immigration
Dan Crenshaw supports changing asylum and immigration laws to address what he considers abuse of the asylum process and to prioritize merit-based legal immigration. He says he has offered bills to remove asylum-process loopholes and supports a broader border-security approach that may include walls where appropriate, more technology, more judges to process cases, and more detention beds. He presents these as policy positions and past legislative efforts, not as enacted changes.
Context: The campaign material does not specify the proposed legal changes or what criteria would determine merit-based immigration.
In their own words
