The following Members of Congress who are running for reelection this year receive a Career Immigration Grade of “B” or higher from Americans for Better Immigration (ABI), indicating that they are generally inclined toward immigration reform. In some cases, Members are very strong in certain subjects (i.e. border control or interior enforcement), but weak in other categories (i.e. they may support a guestworker program or increased chain migration). However, their Career Immigration Grade of “B” or higher indicates that they have supported lower immigration numbers more than half of the time they have acted.

Names appearing in purple indicate a survey has been submitted, but he or she does not meet the standards set for being listed as "True Immigration-Reform Candidates."
