Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 5, p. 141. Written by Ken Cuccinelli.

Eliminate the T and U visas for crime and trafficking victims

The document says “shouldWho acts: CongressHow: legislationp. 141 in the PDF
What the document says

“Eliminate T and U visas. Victimization should not be a basis for an immigration benefit.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 141

T and U visas allow victims of trafficking and of certain crimes to stay in the United States. The chapter says victimisation should not be a basis for an immigration benefit, that the S visa already exists for witnesses actively helping law enforcement, and that until the T and U visas are repealed their eligibility should be significantly restricted to prevent fraud.

What the document actually says

“Eliminate T and U visas. Victimization should not be a basis for an immigration benefit.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 141
That sentence, in plain words

Get rid of these two visas. Being a victim should not win you the right to stay.

What this is about

Two visas exist for people who were hurt by crime. One is for victims of trafficking. The book says these should end. It says being a victim should not be a reason to stay.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
