James Hill — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Arkansas, 2026

James Hill criticized the Liberal government's immigration policies, asserting they led to a dramatic decline in public support and created an unfair two-tier justice system for non-citizens. He argued that bringing too many people into Canada too quickly undermined the integrity of the immigration system. Hill advocated for restoring order and fairness within Canada's immigration system.

“Under the Liberal government, we have seen a dramatic drop in public support for immigration in Canada. Before the Liberal government, Canada's immigration system welcomed people who came to Canada to work hard and to contribute. It protected the world's most vulnerable people, but the Liberals' decision to bring too many people into Canada too fast changed all of that. Canada's crumbling immigration consensus can be attributed to another Liberal failure. (James Hill, Member for Riding Mountain, during a debate, February 24, 2026)”

James Hill voted for three FY26 appropriations bills, including Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies; Commerce, Justice, Science; and Energy and Water. These bills allocated funds for programs such as $25.2 million for the EPA Technical Assistance for Wastewater Treatment Works and $30.7 million for EPA’s National Priorities Rural Water Technical Assistance grant programs. Hill stated these votes reflect responsible governance that protects resources.

““House Republicans are doing our part to move Congress back toward responsible governance. Today, we passed three more appropriations bills, bringing our total to six of the twelve needed to fully fund the government for fiscal year 2026. “This is how Congress is supposed to work, with members debating and voting on spending bills instead of relying on continuing resolutions. Today’s bipartisan bills cut wasteful spending, advance conservative priorities, and protect resources that Arkansas families and communities rely on. That’s the kind of responsible governance the American people expect, and that’s what Republicans are working to deliver.” — Rep. French Hill (AR-02), statement after House passed funding bills, January 8, 2026”
