Apologists for Illegal Immigration Encourage Human Trafficking

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.

The federal government is shut down, at least partially. The reason, we are told, is President Trump's demand for a "wall." That isn't really the President's demand, and that really isn't why we are at such an impasse.

President Trump last week reiterated his call for more foreign workers to fill jobs apparently Americans won't do. This was lost in the blow-up between the President and CNN correspondent Jim Acosta. However, it isn't the first time the President has said this, and it isn't true.

Historian Christopher Browning Out of His Element When it Comes to U.S. Immigration Policy

Christopher Browning, a professor of German history, published a long essay in The New York Review of Books. The topic wasn't a book review but a vituperative attack on President Trump, including a denunciation of those, Trump supporters or not, who seek to restrict immigration. It is shockingly shoddy work by someone of Browning's stature, and any effect it may have will only serve to inflame political passions.

Misuse of Barbara Jordan's Legacy on Immigration Is Wrong, No Matter Who Does It

Barbara Jordan is a true hero of the Civil Rights Movement, an icon of American politics, and a guiding light to those who continue to fight for immigration reforms that put the interests of the American people first. Susan F. Martin, professor emerita at Georgetown University and former staff member of the Jordan Commission, wrote a piece last week attacking President Trump for a letter the White House put out praising Jordan's work. Martin was aghast that Trump would "intimate" that he and Jordan held similar policy positions on immigration. President Trump is a political lightening rod, no doubt, even more so than other modern Presidents, but in attacking him Martin misrepresented Barbara Jordan's views on immigration and the recommendations of the Jordan Commission.

President Trump delivered a speech on December 18 outlining his National Security Strategy, a document required each year from the executive branch by Congress. Reiterating themes that won him the 2016 election, President Trump gave strong indications that immigration policy will be at the forefront of his Administration's efforts in 2018.

CNN's Jim Acosta hi-jacked the White House briefing last Wednesday after the introduction of the RAISE Act. Problem is, he knows very little about immigration policy or the history of immigration to the United States.

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.”
