Perhaps I’m missing something but I can’t find a provision of the US Constitution that authorizes a president to act because he/she just can’t wait for Congress.

Otherwise, the new administrative amnesty-in-place for illegal aliens under the age of 31 would be considered an extra-constitutional directive by … Continued

On May 18th Governor Robert Bentley signed HB 658, a bill that amends Alabama’s 2011 immigration enforcement law. Although marketed as a “tweak” of existing law, HB 658 as passed by the House would have seriously undermined it before courts had a chance to rule on pending lawsuits. Fortunately, NumbersUSA members were able to convince … Continued

This past week, three bills have been introduced by Senators from both sides of the aisle aimed at bringing more foreign STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) workers to the U.S. The arguments are all the same, and are all flawed.

Amnesty is the only form of LEGAL immigration that some are willing to stand against. However, just because something is legal doesn’t … Continued

Disclaimer: NumbersUSA is a non-partisan organization that does not advocate for or against any candidate or party. We ask, however, that you consider the immigration-related positions of candidates when making your choices. Most folks are focusing on the 2012 elections now but it’s important to remember that a few states hold 2011 gubernatorial and state … Continued

A newsletter I subscribe to sent out an alert last week entitled “Evangelical Leaders Unite on Just Assimilation Immigration Policy.” With heightened interest I began reading about how the law in Arizona is a response to the federal government’s failure, that we need a rational immigration policy, that we are a nation of laws, and … Continued

I currently live in Cairo, Egypt, a city of approximately 18 million people within the metropolitan area. That’s more than twice the population of New York City.
