S.Res. 211: 

S.Res. 211

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:12 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Jefferson “Jeff” Sessions [R-AL] in the 108th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S.Res. 211 would express the sense of the Senate that the free trade agreements are not the vehicle to enact or change immigration legislation.

S. 1461: 

Border Security and Immigration Improvement Act

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 8:35 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. John McCain [R-AZ] in the 108th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 1461, the Border Security and Immigration Improvement Act, would create a legalization process for almost all illegal aliens who will then be eligible for green cards after 6 years.

S. 1452: 

USA Jobs Protection Act of 2003

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 8:38 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Christopher Dodd [D-CT, 1981-2010] in the 108th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 1452, the USA Jobs Protection Act, would implement reforms of the H-1B and L-1 visa programs aimed at preventing American high-tech workers from being displaced by foreign workers. The legislation included important protections for American workers, including prevailing wage and no-layoff provisions. It also sought to extend current no-layoff provisions for H-1B dependent employers to all H-1B employers.

S. 1387: 

Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2003

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 8:50 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. John Cornyn [R-TX] in the 108th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 1387, the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act, would create a temporary guestworker program for illegal aliens with an amnesty-on-installment program.

S. 1518: 

Visa Integrity and Security Act of 2001

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 9:46 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Christopher “Kit” Bond [R-MO, 1987-2010] in the 107th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

S. 1518, the Visa Integrity and Security Act, would have required H-1B employers to report to the INS as soon an H-1B visa holder has been fired or laid off. This reporting requirement would help deter visa overstays on the part of H-1B visa holders. It also would have implemented an entry-exit tracking system for visa holders. This would have helped reduce illegal immigration by signaling authorities when people who enter the U.S. legally on visas do not leave as then should and stay here illegally.

Agricultural Job Opportunity Benefits and Security Act of 2001

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

  • Read more about Agricultural Job Opportunity Benefits and Security Act of 2001

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:11 am EST

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:50 am EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. Harry Reid [D-NV] in the 103rd congress

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.”
