Four days from learning the future of border and immigration policy

Hopefully, by this time this next week, we'll know who the next President of the United States will be, and with that, we'll have a clearer picture of what immigration policy will look like over the next four years.

Regardless of who wins, the Immigration Accountability Project intends to provide you with the resources necessary to hold the new administration accountable, similar to the resources we provide to hold your elected representatives accountable with our Member Accountability tool.

From a listing of executive orders to proposed regulations to Presidential declarations, we'll provide full coverage of what the next administration does (or fails to do) to secure the border, ensure national security, and manage the immigration system.

But before that happens, Congress will return from a nearly two-month recess on Nov. 12, when Members will begin work on funding the federal government through the end of next September. It's unclear whether Congress will pass another continuing resolution to extend funding into early next year or pass a massive omnibus spending bill that could have significant impacts on immigration. Look for updates from IAP over the next two months so you can help hold Congress accountable during the lame-duck session.
