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.

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 10:52 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Gabrielle Giffords [D-AZ8, 2007-2012] in the 111th congress

Sponsored by:  Rep. Ronald “Ron” Paul [R-TX14, 1997-2013] in the 111th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 160, Social Security for Americans Only Act of 2009, would prohibit an alien, for purposes of determining Social Security benefits, from being credited for earned income while he/she was not a citizen or national of the United States. Furthermore, it would require any future Social Security totalization agreement to mind this prohibition and require present agreements to conform to this regulation.

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.”
