New Report Raises Questions About Industry Influence on SAVE America Act Fight

As the U.S. Senate struggles to pass the SAVE America Act, a new report documents millions of dollars in campaign contributions flowing to Republican senators from industries opposed to stricter immigration enforcement policies.

The American Accountability Foundation, in partnership with the Mass Deportation Coalition, examined donations from construction, hospitality, agriculture, and senior-housing organizations, which they allege are at least partly to blame for the SAVE America Act’s stalled progress.

“Across the 11 senators we examined, the four industries that run on cheap labor … have funneled $8,312,574 into their campaigns, leadership PACs, supporting independent expenditures, and employee donations,” American Accountability Foundation founder Thomas Jones said. “This is the money that explains why ‘support’ for the SAVE Act never escalates into a fight.”

The SAVE America Act is President Donald Trump’s signature election integrity initiative. The legislation would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections, photo ID when casting a ballot, and removal of noncitizens from voter rolls.

Jones claimed the “cheap, foreign, and illegal labor lobby” operates with a goal of keeping illegal aliens in the United States, pointing to support for the DIGNITY Act, which would protect potentially millions of illegal aliens from deportation and provide them with work authorization. The bill was introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., and Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, in 2025. There is no current Senate companion bill.

“This money traces straight back to the organizations bankrolling the DIGNITY Act amnesty. The National Association of Home Builders, the National Restaurant Association, the Associated General Contractors of America, and the American Seniors Housing Association are the top donors again and again,” Jones said. “They are the financial engine behind the DIGNITY Act amnesty, and an enforcement regime anchored by mandatory E-Verify would be a death knell for their business model. So, they pay to keep enforcement theoretical and amnesty alive.”
