H.R. 1915: 

Immigration in the National Interest Act of 1995

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:42 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Lamar Smith [R-TX21] in the 104th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 1915, the Immigration in the National Interest Act, would have shifted the primary focus of immigration policy to spouses and minor children from extended family and to skilled immigrants from less skilled ones. It would have set a ceiling of 330,000 on family-based immigration. In addition this bill would have increased the number of skilled workers, while eliminating the unskilled worker category and the lottery program. H.R. 1915 also contained provisions designed to reduce illegal immigration such as worker verification programs.

Sponsored by:  Rep. Robert Stump [R-AZ3, 1977-2002] in the 103rd congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 3862 would have cut legal immigration from around one million to below 300,000 a year -- near the traditional American level of immigration. It also would have eliminated one of the major incentives for illegal immigration by halting the granting of U.S. citizenship to babies born to illegal-alien mothers in the United States. The House leadership did not bring the bill to a vote.

H.R. 4300: 

Family Unity and Employment Opportunity Immigration Act of 1990

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:55 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Bruce Morrison [D-CT3, 1983-1990] in the 101st congress

Largely as a result of H.R. 4300, annual legal immigration has risen to around 1,000,000 (one million) a year.

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.”
