H.R. 347: 

Immigration Moratorium Act of 1997

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:31 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Robert Stump [R-AZ3, 1977-2002] in the 105th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 347, the Immigration Moratorium Act, would have helped reduce chain migration significantly by eliminating several categories of extended-family migration such as parents and adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens. It would have also reduced the ceiling for skilled workers to 5,000 per year from its current ceiling of 120,060 per year, eliminated the category for unskilled workers, required that refugees and asylees reside legally in the United States for five years before they could apply for adjustment to permanent resident status, and would have ended the Visa Lottery.

H.R. 2202: 

Immigration Control and Financial Responsibility Act of 1996

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:44 am EST

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

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 2202, the Immigration in the National Interest Act of 1995, was a large omnibus bill designed to reform the entire immigration system. The legal immigration reforms it included were based on the bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission's recommendations for cutting the major links of family-chain migration and protecting American workers from further wage depression. The bill would have eliminated the categories for adult children and siblings and limited that for parents of adults.

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.

H.R. 4934: 

Immigration Reduction Act of 1994

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:48 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Bill Archer [R-TX7, 1971-2000] in the 103rd congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R. 4934, the Immigration Reduction Act, would cut legal immigration -- by reducing chain migration, ending the visa lottery, capping refugees and asylees, eliminating unnecessary worker visas, and ending birthright citizenship -- from around 1 million to around 320,000 a year, reducing U.S. population growth by about 5.8 million over a 10-year period.

H.R. 3862: 

Immigration Moratorium Act of 1994

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

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. 3320: 

Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993

Published:  Wed, Jan 29th 2014 @ 10:49 am EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. James Bilbray [D-NV1, 1987-1994] in the 103rd congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Support

H.R.3320 was the first comprehensive immigration reduction legislation to be introduced in the House since the 1920s. It would have cut legal immigration from around one million to just under 400,000 a year by reducing chain migration, cutting the number of employment-based green cards, reducing refugee and asylee admissions, eliminating the visa lottery, and boosting enforcement.

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

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

H.R. 4300 was a bill to radically increase annual immigration numbers by removing or increasing limits in most immigration categories. As well, H.R. 4300 created the diversity visa lottery. Traditional American immigration had averaged around 250,000 a year until the 1980s when it dramatically rose to around 500,000. 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.”
