Get StartedMy heart breaks for hundreds of thousands of unborn children who lost their lives to abortion last year, but it also breaks for the hundreds of thousands of kids without a real home. Learn more
The plan aims to combat drug trafficking organizations, gangs, and criminals. It would require the DHS Secretary to designate certain cartels as Special Transnational Criminal Organizations and increases penalties for smuggling noncitizens into the U.S. If a firearm is involved. The plan also increases penalties for those charged with illegal re-entry to the U.S. In addition, the plan incorporates ''Sarah’s Law,'' which would mandate detention for certain noncitizens charged with crimes that resulted in someone’s death or serious bodily injury.

Under Binkley’s leadership, Generational Group, recognized as the North America Investment Bank of the Year by the M&A Advisor in 2022, guides business owners on how to grow and sell their companies even in difficult times.

I propose we start a volunteer movement in our country that would rival the Peace Corps and bring life, education, and mentorship into our urban communities and schools. Learn more
By investing in homegrown and produced energy, we will create family-supporting jobs, reduce energy costs for working Americans, and break the stranglehold that nations like Russia have on the world’s economy. Learn more
Our focus should not be on climate policies that cost a lot, deliver little, and in the end likely don’t even work. Rather, we should focus our efforts on developing new technology and encouraging innovation that will lead to the production of affordable and dependable green energy. It is possible for us to have a sensible climate policy without breaking the bank and without sacrificing the amazing opportunities delivered by cheap and abundant energy. The best investment governments can make is in innovative climate and energy technology. That is how human beings have solved problems around the world throughout history. Humans have a wonderful ability to adapt to circumstances, and we should include that in the climate conversation. The lesson to be drawn is that if a country wants to reduce the number of its citizens dying as a result of climate, it should pursue economic and technological development. America should never depend on foreign nations for our energy, especially those nations who fear and oppose our way of life. Learn more
We must adopt a national ''All Of The Above'' energy strategy that includes oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear power, biofuels, and emerging technologies. Issue an executive order to implement a pro-growth energy policy, emphasizing bio-fuels; alternative fuel sources, and unleashing our oil and gas producers. I will open more federal lands for drilling, reduce the excessive regulation delays in the development of new nuclear facilities, and support the ethanol industry by eliminating the summer restrictions on E-15 ethanol.

To mitigate the stranglehold of excessive waste on the U.S. Healthcare system, addressing these underlying factors is paramount. By enhancing access, fostering price transparency, and simplifying payment methods, the healthcare landscape can be transformed into a more efficient, effective, and equitable environment, ultimately safeguarding lives and resources alike. Learn more
We propose to launch several initiatives that would unleash the forces of a free market to transfer the control of money and choices to the consumers of healthcare. Like all other industries, ultimate control of money by the consumer will lead to efficiency, low prices, and higher quality of services. We can end the healthcare monopoly and put patients back in charge by promoting transparency and real competition. Learn more
We will work with Congress to ensure our patent laws on drugs are consistent with other leading nations. Learn more
A principal catalyst for healthcare’s expensiveness is the lamentable issue of dysfunctional access to care, including limitations of primary care (hospital employments that has repurposed them primarily to a referral source, lack of control over innovative delivery models such as virtual and at home methods, regulatory barriers), and lack of incentives for coordination of care for chronic conditions by inverse compensation models. This dysfunctionality creates a deceiving scarcity of providers that drives up costs as untreated chronic conditions escalate, necessitating more intensive interventions down the line. Learn more
Fueling Fraud and Waste: The intricate web of payment methods inherent to the healthcare system creates fertile ground for fraudulent practices and inefficiencies. The complexity not only elevates administrative overhead but also fosters opportunities for mismanagement and abuse. Learn more
O-Visa Eligibility.The plan would create a presumption of eligibility for an O visa, reserved for individuals with extraordinary ability, for students who have earned a doctoral degree in a STEM-related or medical field. Learn more
The plan would expand the Visa Security Program (VSP) managed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the 75 most high-risks posts worldwide, require CBP to employ electronic passport scanning and some facial recognition technology at airports, require a report on visa overstays, direct DHS to ensure the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is available to CBP officers at all ports of entry, and permit DNA verification of family relationships on a case-by-case basis with the intent to prevent human trafficking, among other provisions.

The Binkley Administration DHS will: 1. Secure and control the border to end human, drug, and weapons trafficking 2. Thoroughly enforce immigration laws 3. Correctly and efficiently adjudicate immigration benefit applications while rejecting fraudulent claims. The plan establishes an Immigration Infrastructure Fund, which would be used to pay for the new infrastructure, personnel, and others costs associated with the bill. Under the plan, a fee of 1.5 percent would be levied from the income of individuals provided work authorization under the Dignity Program. That money would then be deposited into the immigration infrastructure fund. Learn more
Referral to Immigration Judge:For those referred to an immigration judge, the plan would create a system by which asylum seekers would receive a notice to appear, be released from the humanitarian campus, take part in a case management program, and be monitored via a GPS tracker and weekly check-ins. Immigration Agency Coordinator: The plan would create an Immigration Agency Coordinator to oversee immigration functions at USCIS, the Department of State and the Department of Labor and authorize about 3.5 billion to help improve processing and reduce visa and work authorization backlogs.

The simple truth is that we will never be able to fix our immigration system until we secure our border. However, our border will never be truly secure as long as our immigration system encourages and rewards lawbreaking. We need an immigration system that secures the border, identifies and removes dangerous illegal immigrants, and provides a realistic, compassionate, and effective solution for the millions of undocumented families who are already here.

To truly secure the homeland, a conservative Administration needs to return the department to the right mission, the right size, and the right budget. This would include reorganizing the department and shifting significant resources away from several supporting components to the essential operational components. Prioritizing border security and immigration enforcement, including detention and deportation, is critical if we are regain control of the border, repair the historic damage done by the Biden Administration, return to a lawful and orderly immigration system, and protect the homeland from terrorism and public safety threats. This also includes consolidating the pieces of the fragmented immigration system into one agency to fulfill the mission more efficiently. Learn more
My plan deploys physical barriers, tactical infrastructure, technology, and personnel along the border where it is most effective. Specifically, it authorizes at least 35 billion in funding to enhance and improve infrastructure and technology between and at ports of entry. It also reforms the U.S. Asylum system to make a final determination of asylum eligibility for most asylum seekers at the border within 60 days. Learn more
American Worker Fund.The plan establishes a fund with contributions from the Dignity and Redemption Programs. The fund would manage grants to states and organizations to help U.S. Citizens looking for work or transitioning to different careers. The grants would cover apprenticeships, work-based earn-and-learn programs, and educational opportunities for high-demand careers. The bill aims to cover the upskill or to retrain at least one American worker for every participant in the Dignity Program. Learn more
