NumbersUSA has no choice but to oppose what is being suggested as the White House "framework" for a mass amnesty. The plan seems eerily similar to the blueprint used for the 2007 Bush-Kennedy amnesty, which appeared to end chain migration, but wouldn't actually end it for 17 years. NumbersUSA mobilized our huge grassroots army to defeat the 2007 amnesty, and we will do the same if this plan is proposed next week. Americans must demand that the House pass the Goodlatte bill to help block the damaging proposal the White House seems ready to press the Senate to approve.

Forty-six Senators stopped funding of the government Friday night because they didn't get an eighth amnesty that offers endless chains of extended family migration.  ​Chain Migration is the top issue here. The 46 Senators wouldn't accept a DACA amnesty and wouldn't vote to fund the government unless every immigrant gets to have Chain Migration of their relatives, and unless all those relatives get Chain Migration of their relatives, and so forth. Did YOU know there have already been 7 Chain-Migration amnesties?

On this anniversary day of the death of civil rights icon Barbara Jordan, it sounds like many of the congressional amnesty champions today regard her ideas for immigration reform as too extreme right-wing to even be a part of compromise negotiations. Reports from the Hispanic Caucus visit with White House Chief of Staff Kelly Wednesday are particularly troubling.

Every time Pres. Trump tweets that any DACA deal has to include the elimination of Chain Migration and the Visa Lottery, he's speaking the mind of most Americans who say they are likely to vote in this fall's midterm elections, according to a new poll.

By nearly a 2-to-1 margin, likely voters said any legalization of young-adult illegal immigrants should include an end to Chain Migration of extended family members beyond spouse and minor children.

Chalk this TV ad up to visualizing how out-of-control Chain Migration can be

NumbersUSA today launched a national TV ad campaign to help Americans visualize just how out of control Chain Migration can get.

Using an animated chalk board, the 30-second ad shows how an amnesty for just one illegal border crosser or visa overstayer can lead to hundreds of distant relatives and in-laws lining up with the chance that they sooner or later can also get a lifetime U.S. work permit and path to U.S. citizenship.

Senate GOP DACA plan follows long history of avoiding workplace enforcement

"I have no good explanation whatsoever why (mandatory) E-Verify was not included in the Senate working group proposal" introduced this week, Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas said today. Smith has been trying to stop U.S. employers from hiring illegal workers for nearly all of his 30 years in Congress.

Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist Jerry Kammer said there is a primary reason Smith's long battle to protect workers from illegal-labor competition has failed thus far: "Congress always has found it much more politically palatable to throw money at the border than to control worksites." Is that why Senate Republican leaders introduced a three-year DACA amnesty this week without a mandatory E-Verify provision to deter another flood of illegal immigration?
