On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1044, the Fairness For High-Skilled Immigrants Act, by a 365-to-65 margin. The bill would eliminate per-country caps on employment-based green cards, which have resulted in hundreds of thousands of immigrants—mostly from India and China—facing a decades long wait time to become lawful permanent residents. It also would raise the per-country limit on family-based visas from the current 7% to 15%.

The Federal Government has started returning non-Mexican migrants who claim asylum, after illegally entering the United States at the Texas border city of Loredo, back to Mexico.

A federal judge in Seattle ruled Tuesday that asylum-seeking immigrants detained for being in the United States illegally have the right to a bond hearing in immigration court rather than being held until their cases are complete.

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.”
