Immigration policy is habitat policy

Habitat loss, despite mitigation efforts, is an inevitable result of adding more than 3 million people per year.

Creating new quasi-legal categories for people doesn't make a difference on the ground if the numbers aren't addressed. Everything has a limit.
Creating quasi-legal programs to admit more people under a different category on a spreadsheet does absolutely nothing to change the math or the real-world impact.
Illegal immigration is far outpacing green cards since the border system collapsed two years ago. The E-Verify bill, H.R. 2, would get us back to a more credible system, but is that something our elected officials want?
A weekend of civil discourse and engagement in the state that has arguably experienced the impact of immigration-driven population growth more than any other.
Purple plains, prairies, and croplands are giving way to urban megalopolises that most people don't want to live in. Those are two of the emerging findings from the over 20 years of studies that NumbersUSA has produced, including our latest:
A new Rasmussen poll finds Texans overwhelmingly support E-Verify to slow illegal immigration and population growth.
Most members of Congress are likely unaware of how high levels of immigration impact quality of life. Please urge them to support H.R. 319, the Legal Workforce Act, which establishes a mandatory E-Verify system that can lead to substantial reductions in illegal immigration. E-Verify is popular, effective, and the logical place to start moving immigration policy back into balance.
Illegal immigration numbers remain too high to accommodate or to claim we have anything close to a credible system. The entire system is in overshoot with real solutions still waiting for a hearing.
NumbersUSA, a single-issue organization, has no position on Biden's climate plan, but adding 20-30 million more consumers over the next decade won't reduce emissions. His policies are at odds with one another.
