As someone who knows the immigration system firsthand, Andrew Clough believes in a common-sense approach that reflects the values of South Carolina’s 5th District: faith, family, hard work, and justice.
For undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. over 10 years with no criminal record. Includes background checks, tax payment, and English/civics requirements with a 10-year roadmap to permanent status.
Eliminates harsh bars that separate families and expedites visa processing for spouses and children of U.S. citizens. Reduces backlogs with tech and caseworkers.
Modernizes visa systems to help SC-5 industries hire legally and ethically. Creates a “Blue Card” for essential workers with a path to citizenship and worker protections.
Secures the border with drones, sensors, and increased immigration court staffing. Focuses on technology and diplomacy—not walls and fear.
Protects DREAMers and TPS holders with permanent status, educational grants, and small business access. Codifies DACA into federal law.
“This is not just policy to me. It’s personal. My family has lived this broken system—and I’ll fight like hell to fix it.” — Andrew Clough
