Which States' Delegations Were Especially Naughty and Put a Lump of Coal in Their Workers' Christmas Stockings?

By Roy Beck, Updated Wednesday, December 24, 2008, 12:15 AM

We can track them even though the chambers of Congress are empty on this Christmas Eve. We know which state congressional delegations are the aspiring Scrooges by what they left behind -- a clear trail of votes and co-sponsorships making it easy for us to give out our awards for the Naughtiest Congressional Delegations (and also the NICEST!) when it comes to American workers who are unemployed -- or fear they soon will be. And the winners are . . .

WHAT'S WRONG WITH RHODE ISLAND? 2nd worst economy allows its Members of Congress to massively import workers

By Roy Beck, Monday, December 22, 2008, 12:03 PM

News stories are focusing on the nation's second-highest unemployment rate and 11 straight months of job losses in Rhode Island. But I focus on the fact that the state's two Senators and two U.S. Representatives almost invariably act to increase the importation of foreign workers and to reward illegal workers. Why do Rhode Island's citizens allow that to happen?

Alan Kuper's Death Is Reminder of Living for Future Generations

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, December 17, 2008, 6:19 PM

NumbersUSA has thousands of members who are too old to ever enjoy the better American future for which they fight. And, yet, fight they do with all their heart -- none more so than Alan Kuper, 84, of Cleveland. The day before he died of stomach cancer last weekend, he sent out an email to hundreds of his friends calling for more activism in his triple causes of U.S. population stabilization, immigration reduction, and environmental sustainability.

Sen. Lugar Thinks His Nightmare Amnesty Can Pass In New Year (will he eliminate Chain Migration first?)

By Roy Beck, Monday, December 15, 2008, 10:23 AM

A Fort Wayne, Ind., paper says Sen. Lugar thinks Americans will be so distracted by the bad economy that he will be able to slip the DREAM Act amnesty through the Senate this next year. It is always sad when a truly distinguished statesman, with a record of level-headed leadership, embarrasses himself with outlandish open-borders positions, but it happens all the time. Let me tell you why Lugar's dream of amnesty for illegal-alien teenagers is an attack on American workers.

DNA Tests Show Refugee Program Continues To Be Rife With Fraud

By Roy Beck, Friday, December 12, 2008, 12:05 AM

A shocking new report about the potential scope of fraud within our refugee programs: State Department DNA testing found 80% of "family" being brought into the U.S. by refugees under one program are of no blood relation.

533,000 Jobs Lost in NOV -- But the Feds Imported Another 140,000 Foreign Workers the Same Month!

By Roy Beck, Friday, December 5, 2008, 10:17 AM

With the federal government reporting another giant loss of jobs for November, isn't it time to stop the massive importation of foreign workers? While the new Congress and President determine how to best spend a trillion dollars to stimulate more jobs, they should immediately in January suspend most foreign-worker importation.

Pro-Amnesty Groups Are Anti-Hispanic-Americans (they prefer illegal workers over 9% unemployed Hispanics)

By Roy Beck, Thursday, December 4, 2008, 10:27 AM

The lobbying today on Capitol Hill is intended mainly to intimidate Democratic Members of Congress into thinking that if they don't support Rep. Guitierrez (D-Ill.) and his amnesty plan that they will be seen as anti-Hispanic. But an amnesty would be the most anti-Hispanic action Congress could take in this time of raging unemployment, disproportionately high among Hispanic-Americans.

Georgia Rewards a 'True Immigration Reform' Candidate

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, December 3, 2008, 4:06 PM

In asking Georgia voters to send him back to the U.S. Senate, Saxby Chambliss promised to support 12 immigration actions that NumbersUSA considers the most important for protecting American workers, communities and our heritage of individual freedom and natural bounty. His defeated opponent basically only promised to grant an amnesty to 12-20 million illegal foreign workers and their dependents. Georgia voters chose the "True Immigration Reform Candidate."

Bush Adds Yet Another Insult To American Workers (no wonder he's so unpopular)

By Roy Beck, Monday, December 1, 2008, 6:40 PM

At a time of galloping unemployment, Pres. Bush had the gall to tell ABC News that one of his biggest disappointments in the White House was his inability to get Americans to quit being so small-minded about keeping U.S. jobs for themselves instead of sharing them with illegal aliens. Will the next Administration be this elitist and this heartless? The jury is out.

Obama Plan Would Save/Create 2.5 Million Jobs -- Much Cheaper IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM Would Save 2.5 Million Jobs

By Roy Beck, Updated Wednesday, November 26, 2008, 12:15 AM

Mr. Obama announced a plan costing hundreds of billions of dollars that he hopes will put 2.5 million Americans to work over the next 2 years. But current immigration and visa policies are on auto-pilot so that during those same 2 years the government would bring in at least 2.5 million MORE foreign workers, potentially using up all of Mr. Obama's new jobs! A moratorium on immigration would reap virtually the same benefits (saving 2.5 million jobs for Americans) but not cost even 1% what Mr. Obama is proposing.
