Preamble: A New Deal for a Stronger America

For decades, America’s immigration system has been broken, characterized by open borders, illegal immigration, and policies that have harmed American workers and compromised national security. This era of failure is over.

This legislation, Trump's New Deal, represents a fundamental and historic shift. It is a grand bargain that finally secures the border, puts American workers and safety first, and replaces a system of chaos with one of order, merit, and the rule of law. This is not a mere reform; it is a new foundation for American sovereignty and prosperity.

TITLE I – THE GREAT WALL: TOTAL BORDER SECURITY AND ENFORCEMENT

Sec. 101. Mandatory Completion of Physical Border Infrastructure.
The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, is hereby directed and funded to complete the construction of a contiguous physical wall or other impassable barrier system along the Southern border of the United States.

Sec. 102. Technological Dominance and Manpower.
(a) Authorization is granted for the hiring and training of 5,000 additional U.S. Border Patrol agents.

The practice of "Catch and Release" is hereby ended. All aliens apprehended entering the United States unlawfully shall be subject to mandatory detention and expedited removal proceedings.

Sec. 201. Establishment of the America First Visa (AFV).
A new, points-based immigrant visa category is established to ensure immigration benefits those who can contribute to America's economy and society.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act, any alien—including an applicant for the America First Visa or the Legacy Resident Resolution—shall be permanently ineligible for any benefit and subject to immediate removal if they have ever been:
(a) Convicted of, admitted to, or have charges pending for any crime against a child, including but not limited to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or any sexual offense.

This clause is absolute, non-negotiable, and allows for no exceptions or judicial override.

TITLE IV – THE LEGACY RESIDENT RESOLUTION: A ONE-TIME EARNED STATUS ADJUSTMENT
