Immigration tallies across the five 2026 disasters pool messaging from Core Republican Officials only — whether each review scores Immigration Mention, Democratic Attribution, and Mentioned Democratic Obstruction of Immigration Action.
First pass. seven-day observation window only. Mute newsrooms are not claimed zeros. Democratic Findings were not recoded.
These tallies are based on:
This is a found-statement first pass. Official newsrooms were not opened end-to-end for every mute official, so the remaining reviews are not protocol zeros. Do not compare these counts to Democratic 1,261 / 37 / 11 / 0 until pagination is finished or closed as irretrievable.
Immigration Mention, Democratic Attribution, and Mentioned Democratic Obstruction of Immigration Action are each a share of all official–disaster reviews. Attribution and obstruction still require an immigration mention in the window. One person plus one statement is one row; when windows overlap, the statement stays with the earlier-start disaster. The Democratic counterpart is Findings.

In-window statements from Core Republican Officials only — quotable evidence behind the tallies above. Seven-day window only.
Democrats made it official: they care more about protecting violent illegal aliens than American families. While President Trump and Republicans are securing our border and standing with law enforcement, Democrats want to let dangerous illegal criminals run wild in our communiti…
There is another distinct difference. Illegal immigration. I will be tougher on illegal immigration. It is a black and white issue for me. If you are in this country illegally deported immediately. That is where I stand. There is no gray area. ... If they are here illegally, the…
This is where I differ from my brother. It's real clear to me if you're here illegally, you need to be deported immediately. I'll support deporting any illegal immigrant.
Less than four months later, Democrats did it again. That time, they blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security. That shutdown lasted for 75 days for the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats voted to defund American law enforcement agencies. That seems to be their mantra. Defund the police. Get rid of ICE. Get rid of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Open the borders. Let anybody in. That's who that party is now. ... By shutting down the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats put the safety of illegal immigrant criminals over the safety of law-abiding citizens.
The driving force in the Democrat Party is calling to defund the police. The driving force in the Democrat Party is calling to eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement in this country. They don't want borders. Don't think we ought to have borders. They want ICE completely e…
Then earlier this year, Democrats shut down the Department of Homeland Security because they didn't want to fund law enforcement. That's right. Defunding law enforcement – once a fringe position in their party – became the official position of the Democrat Party as they tried to completely – completely – defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol. Once again, it didn't matter to Democrats whether Americans would be less safe with open borders. Their audience – far-left activists – wanted them to defund border security and immigration enforcement officers, so they did. ... Me…
Unfortunately, that is where the minority party's cooperation ended. They refused to work with the majority party to get these appropriations bills across the finish line... [T]he Department of Homeland Security was shuttered due to their refusal to fund federal law enforcement and border security. ... So, through the reconciliation process, the bill called the Secure America Act funded federal law enforcement officers, border security and protecting American communities from violent criminals, illicit drugs and contraband. Obviously, it was a choice from the other side of the aisle to not fu…
Then, in February of this year, Democrats did it again. They shut down the Department of Homeland Security. That shutdown lasted for 75 days. The shutdown of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol lasted even longer. Democrats voted to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democrats voted to defund the United States Border Patrol. Democrats voted to protect illegal immigrant criminals rather than protect law-abiding American citizens.
Democrats of the past like Harry Reid knew birthright citizenship is a gift to foreign adversaries. Today, the party that used to advocate for working Americans has become the anti-American party. They now have a choice: stand with the American people or stand with our enemies.
Again, the Democrats work overtime trying to make illegal legal. We saw it through Joe Biden with the open border. We saw it with Cabinet Secretary after Cabinet Secretary who tried to find workarounds, who tried to say: We are going to enforce part of the law but not all of the…
Since 2009, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or CNMI, has become a hotbed for birth tourism, which is a strategy used by citizens of foreign powers to deliberately undermine our Nation's immigration laws. Over 3,300 communist Chinese nationals have been born on …
Following the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, Congress must step up to the plate to protect the integrity of American citizenship. I'm grateful to my Republican colleagues for joining me in reintroducing the Ban Birth Tourism Act to make it crystal clear that any a…
Birthright citizenship has been exploited for far too long. The Fourteenth Amendment was never intended to reward birth tourism. Congress must close this loophole, and I am proud to join Senator Blackburn in introducing legislation to end this abuse and protect the integrity of …
It is a profound blessing to be an American citizen and to inherit the 250-year legacy of freedom and opportunity that has made the United States the greatest country in the world, but U.S. citizenship is not a commodity. By cracking down on birth tourism, a practice often abuse…
The Left has spent decades turning our citizenship laws into a giant loophole for anyone willing to hop on a plane, and it's American taxpayers who foot the bill for their reckless open-borders agenda. Birth tourism has become a multimillion-dollar industry catering to wealthy f…
Allowing foreign tourists to give birth in our country specifically with the purpose of securing U.S. citizenship for their children threatens not only the integrity of our immigration system, but also our national security. American citizenship is an honor and a privilege – we …
Birth tourism is happening, it's wrong, and it needs to be stopped. For too long, foreign nationals have abused our immigration system and taken advantage of the American people. It's time to take back our sovereignty, and I'm proud to join Sen. Blackburn in this fight.
The Supreme Court did its job. Now it's time for Congress to do ours. The Supreme Court's recent birthright citizenship ruling exposed dangerous loopholes that threaten our national security. Birth tourism is an abuse of our immigration system, and Congress needs to fix this. I'…
American citizenship is more than just paperwork and a bureaucratic label. It's the covenantal bond between a nation and its people, and in a republic like ours that bond carries enormous weight. But under the Supreme Court's erroneous interpretation, American citizenship is ext…
Before far-left radicals took over the Democrat Party, their leader Harry Reid introduced a great bill to end birthright citizenship, ensure no illegals could vote, and crack down on employers who abuse illegal labor. It's a great bill, so I say let's vote on it and find out onc…
The Supreme Court ignored the 14th Amendment and handed a win to the CCP. Every foreign enemy of the United States will utilize this irresponsible decision to harm American citizens and interests at home. Congress needs to act now.
Oklahomans are rightly frustrated when someone breaks into our country to force us to give their children American citizenship. Other than salvation, American citizenship is the greatest gift on Earth, and it should never be obtained through fraud or illegal actions. ... Preside…
It's one of those things that was intended to serve a noble and important purpose and has been thwarted and overused and abused. I'm sure that the conclusion from this decision is you have to amend the Constitution to fix that.
You're seeing … people coming in from other countries just to give birth, so that they can have citizenship, or for the reasons of living off of the welfare state, not to seek the American Dream. The reason that people wait in other countries for years, in some cases, to come he…
For years, I have been pushing legislation and a constitutional amendment to change the United States' policy on birthright citizenship. While I'm disappointed in the Court's decision regarding birthright citizenship, I am determined more than ever to put an end to this major ma…
The long fight for a constitutional amendment begins now. We must explicitly exclude foreign nationals who break our laws, violate our borders, or exploit loopholes to make their families American.
I introduced a constitutional amendment months ago, actually, to fix birthright citizenship. After the Supreme Court decision, that amendment matters more than ever. I'm asking my colleagues to take it seriously and help me get this passed.
Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas said on social media that Congress should pass the Constitutional Citizenship Clarification Act he introduced last July, which seeks to prevent the automatic granting of American citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents who are present in …
My Barring American Citizenship by Keeping Out Foreign Fraudsters (BACK OFF) Act, which would put a stop to the practice of birth tourism by adversaries like China and Russia, is a good first step.
I have a bill, the SAFE KIDS Act, to combat the exploitation of U.S. surrogacy laws for birthright citizenship. I have been fighting visa-free loopholes in U.S. territories participating in surrogacy schemes.
Extremely disappointed to see this decision come out of the Supreme Court today. Congress must take action and end unlimited birthright citizenship immediately. The majority of the globe does not recognize this form of citizenship that has been grossly exploited to the detriment…
a travesty. The Fourteenth Amendment was written to overturn Dred Scott and guarantee citizenship to freed slaves – not to create automatic citizenship for the children of those who violate our immigration laws or are only temporarily in the United States. ... adopted an interpr…
The whole concept of the 14th Amendment, that under the jurisdiction thereof, if you are on vacation in America, you certainly should not have a child while you're here and think in any way, shape or form that kid is going to somehow, some way be an American citizen. That's just…
The cheapening of American citizenship must end. It is a privilege and an honor to be a citizen of this nation, so the insanity of the birth tourism industry must end. For too long, wealthy adversaries and those who have no interest in seeing the United States flourish have perv…
