H.R. 616: 

American Entrepreneurship and Investment Act of 2015

Published:  Mon, May 11th 2015 @ 10:28 am EDT

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R.616, the American Entrepreneurship and Investment Act, would double the number of EB-5 visas issued to foreign investors each year. The EB-5 program gives a green card to any foreign citizen who makes an investment in a U.S. company that results in the creation of jobs.

I-Squared Act of 2015

Published:  Mon, May 11th 2015 @ 10:40 am EDT

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 153, the I-Squared Act of 2015, would increase H-1B visa numbers by more than 100,000 per year and allow certain other visa holders to renew their visas. This legislation would also allow family members of H-1B holders to remain in the country and receive work permits.

S. 129: 

Repeal Executive Amnesty Act of 2015

Published:  Thu, Oct 13th 2016 @ 12:08 pm EDT

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 129, the Repeal Executive Amnesty Act of 2015, would: 1) Prohibit the President's use of granting parole to illegal aliens; 2) Prohibit the Administration from granting work permits to all illegal aliens; 3) Defund all executive actions on immigration, including all memos issued by the Department of Homeland Security; 4) Close the loophole that played a large role in last summer's border surge by treating illegal aliens from non-contiguous countries the same as contiguous countries, making them easier to remove; 5) Prohibit illegal aliens from accessing Social Security, medicare, and benefits from the Affordable Care Act; 6) Reinstate the Secure Communities program; 7) Restrict federal funding to municipalities that provide sanctuary to illegal aliens; 8) Prohibit the government from providing legal council to illegal aliens in removal proceedings; and 9) Restrict the Administration's ability to grant and extend Temporary Protected Status to illegal aliens. The bill would also increase pay for ICE agents.

Published:  Mon, May 11th 2015 @ 10:18 am EDT

H.R. 15: 

Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 11:59 am EST

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 15, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, was a massive immigration reform bill, introduced by Rep. Joe Garcia (D-Fla.) and was the House companion to the Gang of 8's S. 744. H.R. 15 would result in approximately 30 million new permanent work permits issued in the first 10 years if passed. The bill would grant legal status and worker permits to an estimated 11 million illegal aliens with an opportunity for green cards after 10 years and replace some family-based immigration categories with a merit-based points system.

H.R. 2602: 

Timely Repatriation Act

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:31 pm EST

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 2602, the Timely Repatriation Act, would give the Secretary of Homeland Security the ability to punish countries that refuse or unreasonably delay the repatriation of its nationals from the United States. If a country’s repatriation failure rate exceeds 10%, the Secretary will refuse to issue visas for attendants, servants, personal employees, and immediate family members of ambassadors, diplomats, consular officers, or other officials and employees from that country’s government.

H.R. 2131, the SKILLS Visa Act makes various changes to the immigration system with the intention of attracting high-skilled immigration to the United States.

Published:  Thu, Jan 23rd 2014 @ 2:50 pm EST

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 1760, the INVEST in America Act would provide 9,940 new conditional green cards per year for certain qualifying aliens in a field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), who already have an F-1 (student) or H-1B (high skilled worker) visa. Qualifying aliens must have or be working toward a STEM graduate degree, establish and engage in a new commercial enterprise relevant to that STEM degree, and submit a business plan to create at least 5 new full-time jobs for U.S. workers.

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.”
