Immigration & Border
Supports strict border enforcement and measures to reduce illegal immigration, including expanded border wall construction, ending catch-and-release, increasing Border Patrol agents, restoring programs like Remain in Mexico, stricter parole limits, and maintaining pandemic-era expulsions such as Title 42. Has advocated deportation of criminal noncitizens and criticized federal asylum/parole practices as enabling unlawful entry.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Tom Tiffany has a legislative record of supporting significant restrictions on abortion, including cosponsorship of federal bills that would ban abortion at six weeks and support for other bans; he also supported the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

The overall documented record shows support for substantial limits on abortion access.

Public Safety & Guns
