It’s about the Numbers

How does a country maximize benefits and minimize harm? These are the questions that any immigration policy must answer. First and foremost, we promote a civil forum to consider these questions. We are moderates, conservatives & liberals working together to empower voters to achieve a sensible immigration policy, which we believe is one of lower numbers.

Congressional Grade Cards

We score every floor vote, every committee vote, every amendment vote, and every co-sponsorship that could affect the numerical level of legal or illegal immigration. Grades are updated weekly. See how your Members vote.

Congressional Testimony

"We decry hostility and discrimination towards immigrants as antithetical to the traditions and interests of the country. At the same time, we disagree with those who would label efforts to control immigration as being inherently anti-immigrant. Rather, it is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest.”

Rep. Barbara Jordan

Chair, U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform

This is how we achieve sensible policy: together. NumbersUSA builds bridges, leverages the tools of democracy, and studies the diverse impacts of federal immigration policy.

Addressing Immigration Growth's Impact on Environment

Federal immigration policy drives most U.S. population growth which affects every aspect of the country's natural and human environment – including habitat loss, extinction, congestion, and other quality-of-life losses. NumbersUSA is the premier education and research organization on immigration’s role in population growth and its impacts.

The Sustainability Initiative
Taking It to the States

Immigration policy is set by Congress and implemented by the Executive Branch. Yet, the impact of immigration occurs in every state. States are granted authority to address immigration as long as it does not go against Federal law. The use of E-Verify and several other common immigration related issues are being debated and addressed at the state level. NumbersUSA is making your voice heard in your state.
