What the document says

“all applicants rejected for any benefit or status adjudication should be required to leave the U.S. immediately.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 146

The chapter frames this as lasting at least until the agency has cleared its case backlogs. It separately proposes pausing intake of applications in any category where backlogs become excessive, until the caseload is manageable again.

What the document actually says

“all applicants rejected for any benefit or status adjudication should be required to leave the U.S. immediately.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 146
That sentence, in plain words

Anyone turned down for a visa or status should have to leave at once.

What this is about

People apply to stay in the country. Some are turned down. The book says they should leave right away.

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.
