| AK | Heather | McElwain | US Senate | No | All immigrants need to come into our country legally. We have Visas for those that want to work here, there is no reason they can’t apply the right way. |
| AK | Bronco | Williams | U.S. House | No | No. Criminals who are committing violent crimes or doing other things to take down our society should be removed immediately. |

| AZ | Daniel | Keenan | CD-05 | No | |
| CA | Genevieve | Angel | U.S. Representative CD-44 | No | |
| CA | Christine | Bish | US Representative, California 3rd District | No | Public safety and the rule of law come first. |
| CA | Bill | Brough | US Representative 47th District | No | |
| CA | Gregory | Burgess | Federal House of Representatives | No | I worked at the border as a Quarantine Public Health Officer. The lengths that new citizens go through and the supports America provides them along the way are stringent and fair. Anyone who trespasses on America soil illegally, be they criminals or not, is a slap in the face to all who come here legally and take and oath to uphold the Constitution. We have proper channels in place. We need to honor them. |
| CA | Pedro | Casas | 38th Congressional District | No | 99% of them need to be removed. I have a plan to fix immigration policy. |
| CA | Eric | Ching | Congressional District 31st | No | We have a duty to support, defend, and protect our country not illegal criminals. |
| CA | Mitchell | Clemmons | Congress CA 41 | No | |
| CA | Dennis | Feitosa | U.S. House of Representatives (California’s 30th District) | No | Criminal illegal aliens should be deported. Public safety must come first, and failure to enforce this undermines trust in the rule of law. |
| CA | Jeremy | Fox | US Congress from California’s district 20 | Yes | It isn’t really worth an immigration action for a civil infraction. |
| CA | Tuka | Gafari | CD19 | No | illegals are to be deported. Plain, simple and straight to the point. There is a system to help with immigration. Go apply. It works.
I have a hard time to see Americans hurt by illegals. The woman pregnant who was killed by an illegal driving drunk. The American woman raped and killed while out on a run when attending college….and the list goes by the hundreds, if not more. Speak to the American parents who have lost their kids. It is sad. Again, try committing crimes in Iran atop of breaking into their country. Demand free housing, food, education, welfare, etc and see how far that goes. |
| CA | Angela | Griffiths | U.S. House of Representatives, District 10 | No | I believe individuals who commit serious crimes while unlawfully present in the United States should be subject to deportation, consistent with our laws and due process. Protecting public safety is a core responsibility of government. At the same time, enforcement must be carried out humanely, with respect for families, and with careful attention to individual circumstances. We can uphold the law while still treating people with dignity and compassion. |
| CA | Kyle | Kirkland | House of Representative District 21 | No | |
| CA | Vin | Kruttiventi | Congressional District 13 | Yes | My opponent has openly supported allowing “Dreamers” to remain in the United States. |
| CA | Erskine | Levi | United States Representative/Congress, District 31 | No | |
| CA | Robin | Littau | House of Representatives Congress CA District 2 | Yes | uphold the law. |
| CA | Dena | Maldonado | U.S. representative CA district 14 | No | We must deport those who broke the law. |
| CA | Daniel | Miller | U.S Congress in the 26th Congressional District | No | |
| CA | Karsten | Nicholson | Congress | Yes | |
| CA | Kevin | O’Neil | United States Congress California District 48 | No | |
| CA | Larry | Thompson | United States Congress, California’s 32nd District | No | |
| CA | Stephanie | Vargas | U.S. House of Representatives (District 33) | No | |
| CO | Clifton | Brown | Colorado 3rd district House of Representatives. | No | Why anybody would want criminals from other countries to come here makes no sense to me. |
| CO | Christy | Peterson | US House of Representatives | No | |
| CO | Sean | Pond | U.S. Senate | No | |
| CO | Adam | Withrow | United States Senate | No | |
| CO | Matthew | Wood | Senate | No | Deporting criminals shouldn’t be an issue. |
| CT | George | Austin | CT-02 | Yes | |
| CT | Amy | Chai | US Congress | Yes | I would support a pathway to citizenship for aliens who have been here prior to 2020 and have no criminal records and have been productive. They must not have an ideology that is antithetical to our Constitutional Republic. That is a pragmatic solution to an existing problem. Deport the others unless there is a legitimate asylum case. Deport those with ideologies that are anti-American. |
| FL | Michael | Beltran | US Congress, FL-14 | No | Criminals, fraudsters, and any other illegals who are found by the government should be promptly deported. |
| FL | Robert | Cooper II | Congressional District 06 | No | Individuals who are in the United States illegally and who commit serious crimes should be subject to deportation consistent with federal law and constitutional due process. My priority is protecting public safety while ensuring immigration laws are enforced fairly and consistently. |
| FL | John | Frankman | Congressional House of Representatives FL CD-1 | No | Everyone who enters the country illegally or overstays their visa is a criminal illegal alien and must be deported. The United States must work towards mass deportations of all illegal aliens in the country. |
| FL | Raven | Harrison | Unites States Congress CD25 | No | |
| FL | Seth | Haskin | U.S. House of Representatives District 19 | No | Individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States and who commit crimes should be removed as quickly as possible through lawful proceedings that respect due process and human dignity. Those who pose a threat to public safety should be the highest priority for enforcement. By contrast, individuals who have lived peacefully in the United States for many years, demonstrated good moral character, obeyed our laws, worked, and contributed to their communities should have the opportunity to earn legal status through a rigorous, lawful naturalization process established by Congress, rather than remain in perpetual uncertainty. Congress has the constitutional authority to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and it should exercise that authority wisely.
While immigration cases are being resolved, benefits intended exclusively for citizens should remain reserved for citizens and those whom Congress has lawfully made eligible. Enforcing immigration law may create short-term economic challenges for industries that have become dependent on unauthorized labor, but the rule of law cannot be set aside for economic convenience. Businesses that advocate for secure borders and legal immigration should follow those same principles in their hiring practices. Employers should not gain an unfair competitive advantage by relying on undocumented labor while law-abiding businesses hire authorized workers and comply with employment laws. I also support restoring and expanding lawful sponsorship programs, encouraging families, employers, churches, and community organizations to help immigrants enter and integrate through legal channels. America should reward those who respect its laws, not create incentives to bypass them. |
| FL | Lee | Jones | US House | No | Let’s make America safe for everyone. It time to get rid of all the bad actors. |
| FL | Rod | Joseph | House District 20 | No | Criminals have no place in the United States |
| FL | Joe | Kaufman | U.S. House of Representatives, Florida District 25 | Yes | Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan stated the following about me: “With his impressive background in National Security, Joe brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will make him an invaluable asset in Congress… His dedication to Counter-Terrorism and Border Security ensures that he will be a key partner for the Trump Administration in addressing these critical issues. He is an AMERICA FIRST man that is dedicated to the safety and security of this nation. He is the right guy, at the right time, and the ideal candidate to represent our interests in Washington.” |
| FL | Jorge | Martinez | Florida 9th congressional district | No | |
| FL | George | Moraitis | US Congress Florida CD-25 | No | |
| FL | Kimberly | Overman | Florida’s 12th Congressional District | No | Individuals convicted of serious crimes who are unlawfully present in the United States should be subject to appropriate immigration enforcement under existing law and with full due process protections. |
| FL | Neelam | Perry | United States Senator | Yes | They came to harm Americans to begin with |
| FL | John | Peters | Representative in Congress District 14 | No | |
| FL | Steve | Rance | U.S. House of Representatives, 9th Congressional District | No | |
| FL | Austin | Rogers | House of Representatives | Yes | |
| FL | Audie | Rowell | Florida’s 2nd congressional district | No | |
| FL | Linda | Sawyer | US House FL-19 | No | They are criminals and bypassed 8 consulates in Mexico. |
| FL | Joe | Strada | Florida’s 11th Congressional District | No | This is just common sense. |
| FL | John | Strand | U.S. House of Representatives (FL-19) | No | No. I strongly support deporting all criminal illegal aliens immediately. Public safety demands it—no excuses, no sanctuary cities. My 20/20 Sovereignty Act will enforce this and restore law and order. |
| FL | Sarah | Ulrich | CD-7 | No | |
| FL | Keith | Varian | us house fl14 | No | |
| FL | Tim | Wilkins | US Congress, Florida CD-11 | No | |
| GA | Matt | Day | U.S. Representative | No | |
| GA | Jim | Duffie | GA CD 4 | No | See above ! |
| GA | Dr. Kelly | Esti | US Congress GA-08 | No | If you are breaking the law, then I support punishment but not for folks who are just living their lives here. |
| GA | Larry D. | Long | Georgia Congressional District 7 U.S. House of Representative | No | The term Criminals need to be better defined in this statement. Crimes that would require incarceration in U.S. law should be enforced. Children and young people who were brought here in a family unit for which other administration have promised sanctuary are not criminals but have a duty to respect our laws and should be given a pathway to citizenship. |
| GA | Michael | McCord | US house of representatives | No | If you commit a violent or financial crime, they need to go |
| GA | John | Salvesen | U S 5 | Case by case | |
| HI | Jordan | Conley | US House of Representatives | Yes | It depends. Who’s laws? Natives would kick Trump, Clinton, MTG, Biden, and many “Americans” out. I look at humanity. We have one planet. We need to act like it.
If these people are violent criminals, sure, get them out. If they are criminals like Pelosi, Hunter Biden, Donald Trump Jr, or any capitalist thief what is the difference? |
| HI | Adriel | Lam | Hawaii First Congressional District | No | |
| IA | Dave | Bushaw | US House IA CD-02 | No | Violent criminals and repeat offenders should be deported. But if someone’s biggest crime was crossing a border illegally to escape central and south American countries that our US intelligence agencies destabilized, I’m less in favor of deportation. These non-violent undocumented immigrants who are working and contributing to our economy should be documented, and we should first explore asylum and naturalization programs for working undocumented folks. |
| ID | Denny | LaVé | US Senate | No | I do not oppose deportations. I also support our military deeply, which is why I am very much against sending our troops to die in pointless forever wars, that also cause many of the migration crises we are facing today. We not only need to conduct deportations, we need to incentivize remigration through ending the forever wars so migrants can voluntarily leave to their countries, and we need to mandate E-Verify laws nationwide so large corporations cannot hire illegal immigrants. |
| IL | Sean | Brown | U.S. Senate | No | |
| IL | Tedora | Brown | US Congress – 11 | No | They all need to go! |
| IL | R Cary | Capparelli | U.S. Senate | No | We must deport all illegal criminals with immediate effect |
| IL | Niki | Conforti | US House – District 6 | No | |
| IL | Ellen | Corley | U.S. Congress Democratic Party 5th District Illinois | Yes | I think it as led to an expensive military police state and homeland security. |
| IL | John | Elleson | Congressional Representative | Yes | |
| IL | Herbert | Hebein | Congress 8th District | No | |
| IL | Chad | Koppie | U.S. House, 7th District | No | Each illegal alien, who is guilty of a crime (other than just being here, illegally), should be arrested and deported. |
| IL | Marcus | Lewis | U.S. Representative, 1st District | No | |
| IL | Joshua | Loyd | US Congress | No | |
| IL | Sam | Pol | US Representative | No | Criminals here illegally should be deported. |
| IL | Mark | Rice | US House of Rep, IL-08 | No | |
| IL | Gary | Vician | U.S. Congress IL-14 | No | |
| IL | Jeff | Walter | Illinois 11th Congressional District | No | No. I support the removal of individuals who are in the United States illegally and have committed serious crimes. Protecting Americans and our communities must be a fundamental responsibility of government, and criminal offenders who have no lawful right to remain here should be a clear enforcement priority. Immigration laws should be enforced consistently, with appropriate due process, and federal, state, and local authorities should cooperate to remove dangerous offenders from our communities. |
| IL | Jeff | Walter | Illinois Congressional District 11 | No | |
| IN | Jackson | Franklin | House of Representatives IN-5 | Yes | Depends on the crime. If it is just an administrative offense like overstaying a visas then no, but if they are a violent criminal doing a really serious offense then yeah maybe. Case by case. (Marked yes because most cases of the current deporting are non-violent offenses that should be dealt with here, no need to separate families, just give them a pathway to citizenship and let them live the American dream). |
| IN | Floyd | Taylor | US House Indiana 9th district | No | I oppose the old system where parties, donors, and politicians decide for you — and I support a new system where every vote I cast is bound to the verified will of the people, with a public audit trail to prove it. |
| KS | Ron | Estes | US House of Representatives (KS-04) | No | |
| KY | Jay | Bowman | US House of Representatives Kentucky 6th District | No | As the 14th Amendment guarantees, “No person shall be… deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” Illegal immigrants, including criminals, deserve a fair hearing, legal representation, and the chance to defend themselves. Justice and fairness are cornerstones of our democracy. Uphold the Constitution. Give everyone due process. Then enforce the law. |
| KY | Harvey | Carroll | 6th House of Representatives | Yes | Felons yes, violent felons perhaps kept in US Federal/State Facilities and send their country the bill or get a guarantee they will be imprisoned in their home county. I don’t support catch and release. With this said, local, state n federal Law enforcement/Justice System could be funded to establish A) Deportations/Imprisonment B) Patriotic Pathway to Taxpaying and Citizenship via a Process ticket. |
| KY | Daniel | Cobble | U.S. Representative, Louisville, KY District 3 | No | No, of course not. But I also support humanely deporting the other people illegally in the U.S.; technically they are criminals, too. Only with restoring the strong U.S. dollar can we properly handle the immigrant crisis. The weak dollar has allowed today’s conditions. At The-Protect-America-Project.INFO, see my Feb. 2, 2026 letter to Mayor Zohran Mamdani (with July 3, 2025 court pleading) that shows how we restore the strong dollar. It’s why I should be in Washington; I would have the public support to address this complex problem. And at The-Protect-America-Project.ORG, see my book “Transactional Migration (TM) for U.S. Employers, . . .” –– Under the strong U.S. dollar, TM would facilitate immigrants happily returning to their home nations. |
| KY | Corey | Edwards | U.S. House District KY6 | No | |
| KY | Michael | Faris | U.S. Senate | No | All illegals, regardless of crimes committed, should be deported. |
| KY | Benjamin | Hurley | U.S. House | No | No. Individuals who are illegally in the United States and commit serious crimes should be deported following due process under the law. The federal government’s first responsibility is protecting American citizens and lawful residents. |
| KY | Jimmy | Leon | U.S. SENATE | No | |
| KY | Jimmy | Leon | U.S. SENATE | No | |
| KY | Donald | Pay | U.S. Congress KY-3 | No | |
| KY | Gerardo | Serrano | United States Representative in Congress 5th District. KY | No | Criminals who are in the country illegally should be deported after due process under the law. |
| KY | Steve | Shannon | US House of Representatives 6th Districty | Yes | |
| KY | Robert | Sutherby | US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES KENTUCKY DISTRICT 1 | No | As you see somilasota play out we are seeing first hand American Generosity being wasted on those that have no desire to make America there country of choice. We need to propose not being taken over from within. |
| LA | Renada | Collins | U.S. Representative 2nd Congressional District | No | |
| LA | Tia | LeBrun | Louisiana Congressional District 3 | No | |
| LA | Sammy | Wyatt | Louisiana 5th Congressional District | Yes | |
| MD | Chris | Burnett | Congress | No | |
| MD | Jennifer | Cross | US House of Representatives MD03 | No | Yes. 100%. Including any criminals, who have waited the statute of limitations for anything before coming back in. If they’ve ever had a US Department of Homeland Security file or if they have ever left underneath court orders then no they cannot come in. As far as I’m concerned that would be unwise and negligent as a politician for me to support. |
| MD | Berney | Flowers | Congress, Marylands’ District 3 | No | No, I do not oppose deporting criminals who are in the US illegally. Illegal Alien criminals should be a priority in the deportation process and returned to their country of origin at the earliest opportunity. |
| MD | Felix M. | Seier | U.S. Congress | No | I do not oppose deportation for those who have breached the social contract through criminal activity. My ‘Blueprint for Socioeconomic Evolution’ depends entirely on public trust in our legal infrastructure. When an individual enters the country by bypassing our laws and then proceeds to commit further crimes, they have fundamentally renounced the ‘General Will’ and the shared values of our Republic.
In the Navy, the safety of the crew is paramount; any element that threatens that safety or undermines our shared mission must be removed to preserve the integrity of the unit. To protect our civil society, we must ensure that our laws are respected and enforced. Focusing on what we have in common—a commitment to a safe, law-abiding community—requires us to have zero tolerance for those who choose to dismantle that safety. We cannot have a ‘Republic of Reason’ if we allow the erosion of the very laws that define our civic foundation. |
| ME | Joshua | Pietrowicz | U.S. House of Representatives 1st District | No | |
| MI | Tom | Barrett | US House of Representatives, District 7 | No | |
| MI | Chris | Dardzinski | 13th Congressional district | No | They broke the law, deport them all. No exceptions. |
| MI | Justin | Kirk | U.S. Congressional District 10 | Yes | Criminals who are in this country illegally should be removed as quickly as the law allows. Protecting American citizens must always come first. |
| MI | Al | Lemmo | US House of Representatives District 08 | No | |
| MI | Felix | Thibodeau | US Congress | Yes | If they are in the US ‘illegally’, aren’t they criminals automatically? Clever use of language to ask a stupid fucking question. |
| MN | Kurt | Anderson | US Senate | Yes | for serious criminals such as felons. |
| MN | Cynthia | Gail | US Congress Senate | No | Come back legally. |
| MN | Anthony | Hamilton | US House of Representatives CD-8 | No | I fully support deporting those here illegally, starting with criminals. |
| MN | David | Hann | US Senate | No | |
| MN | Joyce | Lacey | US Senate | No | I support deporting individuals who are in the United States illegally and have committed crimes, consistent with due process and the rule of law. Protecting public safety and enforcing our immigration laws are essential responsibilities of the federal government. |
| MN | Hugh | McTavish | US House of Representatives | No | |
| MO | Gordon | Heslop | Missouri 8th Congressional District | No | If they commit a crime they should be deported. |
| MO | Grayson | Hunt | U.S House MO-07 | No | No. I do not oppose deporting criminals who are illegally in the United States. Criminal illegal aliens should be removed, consistent with due process and federal law. |
| MO | Jim | Ingram | U. S. House of Representatives, 6th District | No | |
| MO | Randy | Miller | Congress D-4 | No | |
| MS | Carl | Boyanton | Congress | No | |
| MS | Carl | Boyanton | Congress 4th District | No | Should be an express lane. |
| MS | Ronald | Eller | Congress MS-02 | No | |
| MT | Michael | Hummert | US Senate | No | |
| NC | Addul | Ali | U.S. House District 12 | No | Anyone in our country who is YR illegally should be deported, especially if they are violent or have committed a heinous crime. We need immigration reform to allow those who want to contribute and assimilate into American society an opportunity to come and do it the right way. |
| NC | Don | Brown | United States Senate | No | No, I favor deporting criminal who are here illegally. This is a no-brainer. |
| NC | Asa | Buck | North Carolina First Congressional District | No | We need these criminals out of our country and should not pay the price of housing them in our jails or prisons. |
| NC | Robert | Colon | United States Senate | Please see my comment to the fifth question. | |
| NC | Richard | Dansie | US Senate for NC | Yes | |
| NC | Eugene | Douglass | US House NC District 2 | No | |
| NC | Steven | Feldman | US House, NC 10th | Yes | Yes, and it should be done in a manner consistent with our laws. |
| NC | Travis | Groo | US House 11 | No | There are no illegal humans, however; if they have violated the non-aggression principle, then yes. |
| NC | Robert | Luffman | US House, NC-5 | No | I’d rather send them home instead of putting them up, 3 meals a day, on the tax payer dollar. The first place that ICE should have raided was the prison system. But that’s a different story as well. Privatized prisons want to be full for their subsidies. |
| NC | Marcus | Pearson | United States of House of Representatives district 10 | Yes | |
| NC | Orrick | Quick | US SENATE | No | Criminal activity should not be tolerated. Public safety comes first. Those who commit serious crimes and are here illegally should be removed through due process. |
| NE | Nik | Sandman | US House of Representatives Nebraska First District | No | |
| NH | Scott | Brown | US Senate | No | |
| NH | Andy | Martin | U S Senate | No | |
| NH | Dan | Nicholson | Congress or if you prefer House of Representatives NH-02 | No | Deport them all |
| NH | Victor | Orlando | Congress NH Second District | No | No. I strongly support deporting criminal illegal aliens. Public safety demands it. If you do not follow our rules, then you have to go. |
| NH | Lily Tang | Williams | US House NH-02 | No | |
| NJ | Damon | Galdo | U.S. House of Representatives NJ-01 | No | Criminals who are in this country illegally should be deported. Protecting American citizens must come first, and law enforcement should have the full support to remove individuals who threaten public safety. |
| NJ | Ryan Michael | Kelly | U.S. House of Representatives — New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District | No | I support removing noncitizens who pose a genuine threat to public safety, particularly those convicted of serious or violent crimes, consistent with due process. However, not every offense is the same, and immigration enforcement should consider the seriousness of the conduct, individual circumstances, military service or military-family considerations where applicable, and the protections provided by law. Our resources should prioritize dangerous individuals rather than treating every immigration case as though it presents the same threat. |
| NJ | Justin | Murphy | United States Senate | No | All illegal aliens should be deported. They can begin the process for legal immigration from their home country. |
| NJ | Alex | Zdan | United States Senate | No | |
| NM | Ndidiamaka | Okpareke | Representative – NM CD1 | No | |
| NV | Jim | Blockey | United States Congress, NV CD1 | No | This must be a priority. |
| NV | Thomas | Doyle | Congress – Nevada House District 2 | Yes | |
| NV | George | Forbush | House of Representatives CD2 | No | |
| NV | Rick | Shepherd | CD2 | No | No, I do not oppose deporting criminals who are illegally in the U.S.
I support deporting them. Criminal illegal aliens should be removed immediately upon conviction or even upon arrest for serious offenses. They have no right to remain in this country after breaking our laws. Swift deportation protects American citizens from further crime, frees up prison space, and sends a clear message that illegal entry combined with criminal behavior will not be tolerated. I will vote for legislation that mandates expedited removal of all criminal illegal aliens without delay or sanctuary loopholes. |
| NV | Fred | Simon | Congressional District 2 | No | |
| NV | Anthony | Snowden | Congress Nevada District 4- US House of Representatives | Yes | |
| NY | Kailee | Buller | Congress New York – 22 District | No | Criminals, especially illegal alien criminals have no place in the U.S. |
| NY | Dennis | Hannon | Congress (NY-26) | No | They are criminals the moment they set foot here illegally. Send them all back. |
| NY | Alexander | Portelli | Congress | No | |
| OH | Margaret | Briem | Congress Ohio’s 13th Congressional District | No | |
| OH | Rosemary | Oglesby-Henry | US House of Representatives Ohio 1st District | Yes | Yes, I oppose allowing criminal illegal aliens to remain in the United States without facing deportation.
Violent criminals, traffickers, gang members, and repeat offenders who are in the United States illegally must be prioritized for removal. Protecting communities is the first responsibility of immigration enforcement. The Constitution gives Congress authority over immigration law under Article I, Section 8, and that law must be enforced consistently, lawfully, and without political interference. Removing dangerous offenders strengthens communities, protects legal immigrants who followed the rules, and restores public confidence in the rule of law. Order is not oppression it is responsibility. |
| OH | Samuel | Ronan | US House OH-15 | Yes | If they are criminals why would we waste resources deporting them to another country where their crimes could go unpunished? |
| OK | Gary Ty | England | United States Senate | No | |
| OK | Courtney | Gill | U.S. House | No | It is important that there are clear, and consistent consequences for individuals who break the laws of our nation. |
| OK | Kevin | Hern | U.S. Senate | No | |
| OK | Brian | Ragain | US Senate | No | |
| OK | Curtis | Stinnett | US Senate | No | Our deportation focus should be on individuals with histories of violent crimes. Individuals whose only crime is illegal entry should be guided into the proper channels to gain citizenship or authorization to work. |
| OK | Brandon | Wade | US House CD2 | No | Absolutely not. If you have entered this country illegally and have broken the laws again, then yes you should be deported. |
| OK | Will | Webb | U.S. House of Representatives OKCD2 | Yes | |
| OR | Loran | Ayles | U.S. House of Represenative for Oregon’s Congressional District #3 | No | I do not oppose deporting any criminal that is in our country illegally. |
| OR | Barbara | Kahl | US House Representative, Congressional District OR-1 | No | |
| OR | Peter | Larson | Republican Primary – Congressional District 2 | No | |
| OR | Jonathan | Lockwood | Congress | No | I am 100 percent in support of ICE. |
| OR | David | Russ | US Congress OR CD-6 | No | |
| OR | Patty | Snow | US House of Representatives | Yes | People who are not legal citizens and who have been found guilty of crimes in a court of law, should be deported. However, no deportations should occur without due process of law. |
| OR | Stefan | Strek | U.S. Representative, 4th District | No | https://youtu.be/eutGQTkYR8w https://youtu.be/HrtyrsgF9fA |
| OR | John | Verbeek | U.S. Representative (OR-1) | No | |
| PA | Jessica | Arriaga | US Congress PA-02 | No | Families in Philadelphia and across PA-02 deserve safe neighborhoods. Our police and communities should not be forced to deal with repeat offenders who have no legal right to remain in this country. When someone enters illegally and then commits additional crimes, there must be real consequences. |
| PA | Tony | Guy | U.S. Congress | No | The Trump Administration, has given illegal immigrants a generous opportunity to self-deport with the ability to “get in line” for a legal means of entry. Millions have taken advantage of that. In fairness to them, those that remain should be forcibly removed with no subsequent opportunity for re-entry. As Sheriff, I have entered into a 287g agreement with the Department of Homeland Security. |
| PA | Nicholas | Manganaro | US House of Representatives | Yes | |
| PA | Alexander | Schnell | U.S. House of Representatives | No | |
| PA | Marty | Young | US Congress (PA-06) | Yes | |

| SC | Brian | Corriea | U.S. House District 3 | No | |
| SC | Thomas | Dismukes | U.S. Senate representing the great people of SC | No | If someone is in this country illegally and commits a crime, they have broken our laws twice. Protecting American citizens must come first. Deporting criminal illegal aliens is not controversial—it’s common sense and basic responsibility of government. |
| SC | Donavan | Louis | US Senate | No | They should have no right of appeal if convicted. |
| SC | Mark | Smith | SC-01 | No | It is the federal government’s duty to protect and defend our borders. I firmly support deporting criminals who are here illegally in the U.S. Every alien that comes here illegally is already a criminal – any additional crimes committed while on American soil simply adds to that record. |
| SC | Kasie | Whitener | US Senate | Yes | We need reform to the process for registering and monitoring the behavior of legal residents. I support immigration if it is within the legal process. Residents whose legal status expires should be deported. Individuals who do not register, do not establish a legal status, should be deported. |
| SD | James | Bialota | US HOUSE | No | I think immigration hearings should be fast-tracked if their is not any evidence or claim of legal status. |
| TN | Jacob | Anders | Congress TN-04 House of Reps | No | |

| TX | Ben | Bius | US Representative | Yes | |
| TX | Robert | Brown | US House District 10 | No | As I want all illegals removed, that includes criminals |
| TX | Briscoe | Cain | U.S. House of Representatives, District 9 | Yes | |
| TX | Francisco “Quico” | Canseco | U.S. Congress, 23rd District | No | Of Course Not! With regard to comments herein, please see answers to No. 5. above. Criminals, people in this country illegally, are here illicitly and must be deported, especially so those who have a criminal or subversive record in other countries, or who have adverse philosophies against the American Constitution or its way of live. |
| TX | Aimee | Carrasco | Texas CD 32 U.S. Representative | Yes | |
| TX | Tina | Cohen | Congress Tx-07 | No | |
| TX | Jason | Corley | Congressional District TX-19 | No | Criminal aliens should have a fast tracked system where they are immediately deported. The American tax payer should be punished by paying for them to stay in a jail cell. The only exception to this is if they are facing capital punishment for murdering our citizens. |
| TX | Sholdon | Daniels | TX30 | No | |
| TX | Peter | Filler | for Congress U.S. House Texas District 9 | No | I oppose any policy that prevents the deportation of individuals who have entered the country illegally and gone on to commit crimes, as the primary duty of the federal government is to “provide for the common defense” and “insure domestic Tranquility” as stated in the Constitution. While I believe our immigration system requires comprehensive reform to provide clear, legal pathways for those who wish to contribute peacefully to our society, those who violate our laws and threaten the safety of our neighborhoods in Texas’s 9th District forfeit the privilege of remaining here. Upholding the Rule of Law means ensuring that our limited law enforcement resources are prioritized toward removing those who pose a documented risk to the public, thereby protecting the rights and safety of all law-abiding residents and retired military families. |
| TX | Jessica | Forgy | Texas’s 14th Congressional District | No | I support removing criminals who are in the United States illegally. I do not support removing people who are here with work fees, or who are currently in immigration court processes and do not have criminal records. I am also opposed to over handed enforcement measures that have swept up citizens and legal residents. |
| TX | Patrick David | Gillespie | U.S. House of Representatives Texas District 33 | No | I would also like to bring charges to the elected officials allowing criminal illegal aliens into the U.S. to kill, kidnap, human trafficking, smuggling drugs, and Fentanyl. These elected officials should be arraigned as accessories to the individual crimes each criminal illegal alien committed in the U.S.. |
| TX | Alexander | Hale | Republican Nominee, Texas’s 7th Congressional District | No | |
| TX | Chris | Hatley | U.S. House Texas District 27 | No | Illegal aliens must return home. |
| TX | Brandon | Hawbaker | US House District 10 | No | |
| TX | Brandon | Herrera | Congressional District 23 | No | |
| TX | Vanessa | Hicks-Callaway | Congressional District Texas 35 | No | Deport all illegals who commit crimes in our great country first. Then work on the others. Promote self-deportation. |
| TX | Chelsey | Hockett | TX-05 US House | Yes | It’s a civil infraction, y’all are dumb. |
| TX | Gulrez “Gus | Khan | U.S. SENATE – TEXAS 2026 GOP PRIMARY | No | Criminal illegal aliens should be immediately detained and deported. Public safety comes first. |
| TX | Stephen | Long | Congress District 8 | Yes | |
| TX | John | Lujan | Congressional District 35 | No | |
| TX | Monte | Mitchell | US Representative, District 33 | No | |
| TX | Deliris | Montanez | U.S. House of Representative TX-16 | No | Anyone without a proper legal status in our country who has a criminal record must be deported. |
| TX | Carmen Maria | Montiel | TX US Congressional District 38 | No | Entering this country illegally is a crime already, all illegals should be deported. |
| TX | Dr. Kenneth | Morgan-Aguilera | TX-12th Congressional District | I believe that anyone who commits crimes in the United States — especially violent or serious offenses — should be held fully accountable under the law. If an individual is in the country illegally and commits a crime, I support removing them from the United States after due process. Public safety must always come first, and our immigration system must prioritize the protection of American families and communities. At the same time, I believe in a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system. Law‑abiding individuals seeking a better life should have access to legal pathways, but those who break our laws should not be allowed to remain in the country. My position is straightforward: If someone is in the U.S. illegally and commits a crime, they should face consequences — including deportation — to protect our communities and uphold the rule of law. |

| TX | Oxford “Ox” | Nordberg | 30th Congressional District | No | |
| TX | N. Lee | Plumb | US House of Representatives CD-2 | No | Zero amnesty is warranted. We must be willing to make the difficult decisions, if we want to preserve the nation. |
| TX | Bernie | Reyna | US House 10th Congressional District | No | I support prioritizing removal of violent offenders and repeat criminals; it reduces victimization costs and uses limited resources efficiently. I oppose blanket mass deportation approaches that divert resources from criminals, disrupt local labor and families, and raise costs. Focus on criminals, traffickers, and repeat offenders; use due process and clear priorities. |
| TX | Steven | Shook | US House of Representatives Texas Congressional District 26 | No | I do not oppose deporting individuals who are in the country unlawfully and who have committed serious crimes. Public safety must come first. Violent offenders and those who pose a genuine threat should be prioritized for removal in accordance with the law and with due process.
At the same time, enforcement resources should be focused on dangerous criminals, not families, long-time residents with no criminal record, or people contributing to their communities. Border security and public safety can be enforced firmly while still upholding constitutional protections and basic fairness. |
| TX | Daniel (Mark) | Sims | US Senate, Texas 2026 | No | |
| TX | Jeremy | Story | US House of Representatives TX District 10 | No | |
| TX | Dwayne | Stovall | Congress – District 9 | No | |
| TX | Terry | Thain | U.S. congressional district 9 | No | We have enough of our own criminals |
| TX | Steve | Toth | Congressional District 2 | No | |
| TX | Nils | Walker | US House, CD-30 | No | |
| TX | Jace | Yarbrough | U.S. Congress TX-32 | No | Anyone who enters our country illegally has broken the law, and those who commit further crimes must be immediately deported. Protecting American citizens requires a zero-tolerance policy for criminal illegal aliens. |
| UT | Carlton | Bowen | US House | No | We should deport criminal illegal aliens. If they are currently in prison they should serve their prison sentence and then be deported. |
| VA | Lorena | Bruner | U.S House of Representatives VA Democrat CD-8 | Yes | Yes, I firmly oppose allowing individuals with criminal records who are illegally in the United States to remain in our country, as protecting public safety and upholding the rule of law are the fundamental duties of government.National security and community safety must always be our highest priorities, and we cannot tolerate individuals who pose a verified threat to our neighborhoods. When undocumented individuals commit serious crimes, it undermines our entire legal framework and unfairly overshadows the millions of peaceful immigrants who come to our country to work hard and contribute positively. By strictly enforcing our laws against proven criminals, carrying out swift deportations, and securing our borders, we protect the families of Virginia’s 8th Congressional District and ensure our law enforcement resources are focused on keeping our communities safe. |
| VA | Kim | Farington | U.S. Senate | No | Individuals who are in the United States illegally and commit crimes should be detained, prosecuted where appropriate, and removed from the country. Public safety and the rule of law must remain top priorities. |
| VA | Arthur | Purves | House of Representatives – VA 11th Congressional District | Yes | |
| VA | Tony | Sabio | US House of Representatives | No | Every nation has the right and the responsibility to protect its citizens. If someone is in this country illegally and commits violent crimes or other serious offenses, they should be deported. Public safety is not a partisan issue—it is one of government’s most fundamental responsibilities. |
| VA | Chuck | Smith | US Senate | No | Illegal immigration serves no basis nor purpose in or for the United States |
| VA | Rick | Smithers | U.S. House of representatives | No | I support deporting criminal illegal aliens. Anyone who enters this country illegally and then commits crimes should be removed, while America continues to welcome lawful immigrants who respect our laws. |
| WA | Matt | Boehnke | WA-04 Congressional District | No | I support promptly deporting criminal aliens who are in our country illegally and have been convicted of serious offenses. Protecting American families and communities requires removing violent offenders and cartel‑linked criminals, not releasing them back into our neighborhoods. We must make clear that if you come here illegally and commit crimes, you will be removed; our justice system and our border must work together. |
| WA | Teresa | Fox | US House of Representatives congressional district number six. Against Emily Randall an extremist. | No | Deport them all. Now. |
| WA | Bob | Hagglund | United States House, District 8 | No | |
| WA | Catherine | Hildebrand | US House of Representatives | No | This is a loaded question and could be easily misconstrued. The question was asked in bad faith and is intended to support the deportation of immigrants who may be accused of a crime, often without due process. However, we already extradite criminals to other nations when they flee to the US to hide. |
| WA | John | Hughs | 4th Congressional District | Yes | |
| WA | Jacek | Kobiesa | US Congress | No | No, I do not oppose deporting criminals who are illegally in the United States — I strongly support it.Criminal illegal aliens should be deported immediately and by any lawful means necessary. Public safety must come first. American citizens and legal residents should not have to worry about violent offenders, gang members, or repeat criminals who should not be here in the first place. I support: 1. Full cooperation with ICE 2. Prioritizing deportation of those with criminal records 3. Ending sanctuary policies that protect criminals 4. Using all available federal resources to remove them from our communities No one has a right to commit crimes on American soil and then remain here illegally. Deporting criminal illegal aliens is not only common sense — it is a basic duty of government. This is a non-negotiable priority for me. |
| WA | Leon | Lawson | house WA CD 6 | No | |
| WA | Jerrod | Sessler | Congress | No | They do not have rights under our constitution because they are not citizens of our country. We should be holding their home countries responsible for their presence in our country. And, it is lunatic to wait for them to harm an American before we deal with them. |
| WA | Andres | Valleza | US House of Representatives | No | I have personally been prevented from working with Federal ICE to remove dangerous, illegal immigrants; it is failed policies such as that, that initiated my Congressional campaign. These are the changes I will bring. |
| WI | Katrina | deVille | United States House of Representatives, Wisconsin Congressional District 8 | No | This still requires being given fair trial. Habeas corpus is relevant to anyone on United States soil, regardless of citizenship. As per Article 1 of the United States Constitution. |
| WI | Elizabeth | Fitzgibbon | U.S. House of Representatives | Yes | No. Individuals who are in the country illegally and commit serious crimes should be prioritized for removal, consistent with due process and federal law. The government’s first responsibility is protecting the safety and rights of the American people. |
| WI | Rustin | Provance | Wisconsin 3rd Congressional Districts-House | No | Illegally is the term you used. We arrest our own people for breaking the rules. Why is someone from out side the country less responsible for their actions ? |
| WI | Don | Raihala | United States House of Representatives – WI 7th district | No | |
| WY | James | Byrd | U S Senate | Public safety is a primary obligation of government, and individuals who enter our country unlawfully and commit crimes must be held fully accountable under federal law. I support prioritizing law enforcement and federal resources on swift, targeted enforcement to remove individuals who pose actual threats to our communities, violent offenders, and dangerous criminals. However, effective public safety requires targeted precision and strict adherence to due process—not indiscriminate, sweeping enforcement that destabilizes local economies or disrupts working families. By focusing our law enforcement efforts on criminal behavior and border integrity while upholding constitutional rights, we protect our communities while preserving the rule of law and human dignity | |
| WY | Kevin | Christensen | US House of Representatives | No | |
| WY | Richard | Dodson | US House At Large district | No | I do oppose deporting citizens and legal residents and will happily stand up against ill-considered policies that enable such atrocities. |
| WY | David | Giralt | U.S. House of Representatives | No | With the stroke of a pen, the current administration fixed the crisis and sheer lawlessness that Americans were witnessing at the border. The Biden/Harris administration let in between 12-20 million aliens, most of which had no legal right to enter the country and will never show up to their court hearing. The actions of ICE, CBP, and USCIS may not be pretty or easy to watch but they are needed to protect our country from insider threats, criminal illegal aliens who are here to sorrow terror and misery, and general lawlessness and the increase in the welfare state from people had and still have no legal right to be on U.S. soil. |
