H.R. 3700:
10 Prescriptions for a Healthy America Act
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportTo establish requirements for any health reform legislation enacted by the Congress or the President during the 111th Congress.
H.R. 878:
Nuclear Family Priority Act
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportThe bill would eliminate the extended family visa categories (e.g., married sons and daughters of citizens, etc.), thus ending “chain migration” as recommended by the bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission in 1997. Chain migration is the process where seemingly endless “chains” of foreign nationals are allowed to immigrate to the United States, since our laws allow citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring in their non-nuclear, adult family members. It is the primary mechanism that has caused legal immigration in this country to quadruple since the 1960s.
