After decades of demonizing immigrants to distract from their failures to lead, Republicans have gone even further ahead of the 2024 election by assembling the most extreme, anti-immigrant presidential field in modern history. While a race to the bottom on immigration might play well in a Republican primary, each of these candidates is deeply out of touch with a strong majority of voters who support inclusive, pro-immigrant policies designed to ensure we all have the freedom to thrive.
There’s a lot at stake in the 2024 presidential election. The dehumanization of immigrants and anti-immigrant policies enacted by Republicans have consequences for us all. The NILC Immigrant Justice Fund has conducted comprehensive research into the extreme, anti-immigrant records of leading Republican candidates for president and will be tracking their attacks in real-time.
