Jurisch is particularly committed to modernizing immigration law in Germany. According to her ideas, a modern immigration law should include a points system (immigration), as well as give higher weight to professional experience and a concluded employment contract.[16] In her constituency of Constance, Jurisch advocates for the expansion of the Gaeubahn to ensure a better connection of the region to Stuttgart.[17][18][19] In the Bundestag, she initiated a joint letter among members of the coalition to Federal Minister Volker Wissing for this purpose.
