Human trafficking continues because the U.S. government refuses to take adequate steps to combat illegal immigration. Amnesty will only encourage more of the same. Border security and interior enforcement -- not lip service to the "rule of law" -- are necessary to end this scourge.

Dr. Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies published a couple of articles this week at National Review. One on his findings that the growth of the foreign-born population in the U.S. has slowed, in large measure due to out-migration. The other on the improving employment situation for American workers.

Celebrity Vox journalist Matthew Yglesias released his book One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger today.

His book may turn out to be the best case anyone on the left has made for immigration reduction in years.

Americans are constantly hearing that there is a shortage of doctors in the U.S. There's a bi-partisan push in Congress to bring in even more foreign doctors because COVID-19 has made it worse, so the argument goes. None of this is true. The reality is there are not enough opportunities for American doctors, too many of who are unable to practice in their own country.

The Center for Immigration Studies released a report this week based on data from the federal government's Current Population Survey. This survey gives detailed information about the nation's unemployed. No surprise it shows U.S.-born and immigrant workers both lost jobs in large numbers. And highlights that the last thing the U.S. needs is more foreign workers.

America is facing a crisis that will test our resiliency. It's important to ignore much of the noise coming from D.C., as partisans try to figure out how they will pin blame on their opponents. It is crucial that we do pay attention to what is in legislation passing through Congress to ensure this emergency isn't used as another excuse for politicians to reward their donors.

Last month, the Census Bureau released its annual population estimate. It found the U.S. population increased by 1.6 million in 2019. This greatly dismayed The New York Times reporter covering the story. Commiserating with Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, the two decided the United States is growing much too slowly and the only solution is...well, you know.

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.”
