H.R. 425: 

H.R. 425

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:45 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Sam Graves [R-MO6] in the 113th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 425, would restrict any federal funds from being used for the “Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers of Inadmissibility for Certain Immediate Relatives” rule published by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which allows illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. prior to leaving to process immigrant visa applications.

H.R. 692: 

Nuclear Family Priority Act

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 3:26 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Phil Gingrey [R-GA11] in the 112th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 692, Nuclear Family Priority Act, would eliminate current green card categories for adult brothers and sisters, married and unmarried adult sons and daughters, and create a special non-working visa for parents. By not providing an increase in any other category, overall immigration would decrease by more than 111,800 per year (1.118 million a decade). The numbers would also be indirectly reduced by this bill because there would be fewer spouses or parents of U.S. citizens that would be brought into the country by immigrants.

10 Prescriptions for a Healthy America Act

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 11:47 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Phil Gingrey [R-GA11] in the 111th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

To 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

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 10:53 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Phil Gingrey [R-GA11] in the 111th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

The 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.

H.R. 938: 

Nuclear Family Priority Act

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 2:27 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Phil Gingrey [R-GA11] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 938, the Nuclear Family Priority Act, would end chain migration by restricting allocation of family-sponsored immigrant visas so that only spouses or children of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) alien can obtain such visas. Furthermore, it would reduce the number of family-sponsored immigrant visas available per fiscal year to 88,000 minus the number of aliens who were paroled into the United States for humanitarian reasons in the second preceding fiscal year.

H.R. 350: 

Sex Offender Visa Loophole Elimination Act of 2007

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 2:51 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. John Kline [R-MN2] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

The bill would prohibit approval of family-sponsored immigration petitions if the principal alien is a convicted sex offender.

To prohibit a convicted sex offender from obtaining approval of immigration petitions filed by the offender on behalf of family members.

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 7:47 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. David “Dave” Weldon [R-FL15, 1995-2009] in the 109th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 4317, the Truth in Immigration (TRIM) Act, would require DHS to annually report to Congress on the number of illegal aliens in the United States, listed by country of residence; would reduce the total per-country level of legal immigration determined for each country by 50 percent of the number of illegal aliens from that country who were residing in the United States as of August 31 of the preceding fiscal year; and would establish the following as the order in which reductions in legal immigrant admissions would be implemented: (1) visa lottery winners; (2) U.S.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
