4th of July -- A Celebration of a National Community That Chooses Its Own Quality of Life

By Roy Beck, Updated Saturday, July 4, 2009, 12:30 AM

Would the signers of the Declaration of Independence have thought it principled for the majority of U.S. politicians today to refuse to give even returning U.S. military veterans preference over illegal aliens for jobs? The 4th of July is OUR time -- to remember the document that declared a new national community and insisted that the government exists primarily to protect and provide for the quality of life of the MEMBERS of that community.

Sounds like a job a 67 year-old American WILL do!

By James Robb, Thursday, July 2, 2009, 2:51 PM

One small favor from this disastrous recession: slightly fewer reporters are mindlessly scribbling down the phrase, "jobs Americans won't do." Over four hundred NumbersUSA members wrote to me personally after my latest fundraising email. About 275 of them are unemployed. You wouldn't believe all the jobs that they used to do and would very much like to do again.

Introducing Quality-of-Life Maps for All U.S. (3,141 Counties)

By Roy Beck, Updated Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 11:50 AM

When I say I love America, I’m not talking about just an idea or ideal or a form of government. I’m talking about the actual land within the U.S. borders – the contours, the vegetation, the critters, the roads, the streams, the towns, the communities, the local cultures and . . . . . THE PEOPLE. I’m talking about 3,141 counties where all of America takes place. It is with great joy that I announce today that NumbersUSA is rolling out its QUALITY-OF-LIFE MAPS project on our website so that all Americans can track the overall health of our 3,141 counties and all inhabitants thereof.

NumbersUSA Members Looking for Jobs that Some Say Americans Won't Do

By Chris Chmielenski, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 11:46 AM

Our readers have sent us a lot of personal stories in response to Roy’s blog last week about his trip to the Midwest and who he found working at hotels and at a resort in the nation’s heartland. The jobs weren’t filled with imported labor, but instead Roy found hardworking Americans doing the jobs the open borders groups say Americans won’t do.

How NumbersUSA Gives Jobless Americans a Voice in Pleading Their Case

By James Robb, Monday, June 29, 2009, 1:22 PM

Last Tuesday, I wrote our members asking for donations so we can continue our faxing operation. For the very first time, I thought to put in an email address, so members could contact me directly. Scores wrote, including many who are unemployed and on the edge financially. Take this stirring message from Frances:   I want to thank you (NumbersUSA) for giving regular Americans the ability to participate in our government via your website, especially at this critical time in our American history.

My Letter To Congress During White House Amnesty Meeting (we'll remind voters next year of all who turned back on U.S. jobless)

By Roy Beck, Thursday, June 25, 2009, 10:25 PM

Most attendees of the White House amnesty meeting today fell all over themselves to show their concern for helping the 12 million illegal aliens in this country. I sent a letter to each Member of Congress reminding that they may not want to face voters next year and have to answer why they chose giving permanent work permits to illegal aliens while 14 million unemployed Americans couldn't find jobs.

693,437 Anti-Amnesty, LESS-Immigration Faxes So Far This Month

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, June 24, 2009, 1:33 PM

At the moment I am posting this blog, our computers show that voters who care about their unemployed American neighbors have sent 693,437 faxes THIS MONTH through NumbersUSA to Congress and the White House. The message of the faxes is loud and clear: NO amnesty and LESS immigration.

Americans Doing Service Jobs In Putnam Co., Ind. (and Lost Valley Lake, Missouri)

By Roy Beck, Tuesday, June 23, 2009, 10:00 AM

Before Pres. Obama meets with his pro-amnesty posse in the White House, I wish he could spend some time in Putnam County, Indiana where I've spent recent days researching some of the pioneer history of my ancestors. All the service personnel in my motel, the restaurants, gas stations, etc. are native-born Americans. It is strong evidence that if Obama would stop promising amnesty and would enforce immigration laws that millions of unemployed Americans would be happy to take the jobs opened by departing illegal aliens.

Terry Anderson Interview on Illegal Immigration

By Charles Breiterman, Monday, June 22, 2009, 10:10 AM

In my blog from Thursday, June 18, I looked at the historical views of black Americans towards massive immigration of low-skilled labor. For today’s African-Americans regarding illegal immigration, there seems to be a divergence between the leadership and the rank-and-file. Terry Anderson, a radio host in Los Angeles, airs his views in a two part video interview that is posted on the CAPS website. The link was sent to me by a NumbersUSA member who wrote, “Everyone at NumbersUSA needs to see these radio interviews.”

Frederick Douglass on Cheap Labor

By Charles Breiterman, Friday, June 19, 2009, 12:00 PM

This blog features an article by Frederick Douglass from the August 17, 1871 issue of his newspaper, "The New National Era." America had its cheap labor lobby back in 1871, and it has one today in the form of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, ImmigrationWorks, and Bill Gates himself testifying before Congress for more H-1B visas. Frederick Douglass attacked the cheap-labor lobby's "fair-seeming phrases" immediately in the first sentence. We all know that today's cheap labor lobby has similar "fair-seeming phrases" that I will not repeat here since they are all over the mainstream media.
