The second Republican debate for the 2016 Presidential Nomination is happening tonight.  We hope that all of the candidates will have a chance to address immigration and clarify their positions on some of the most crucial immigration problems our nation is facing. Whether it’s in person, over the phone, email or otherwise, it’s important to let the candidates know how you are judging their immigration platforms.  NumbersUSA’s activism team has built this page to do just that.

Before Congress let out for recess in August, top Republicans drafted a memo to their rank and file members.  The memo, which was obtained by Breitbart, suggested to members what they should be discussing during August. Surprisingly, immigration was not included anywhere in this memo.

If you were to do a quick Google news search of “California drought and population growth,” you’d be lucky to find more than a few passing statements buried deep within articles regurgitating the same information.  All of the news coverage on the devastating drought focuses on short-term problems and shallow solutions. Most writing about the drought assume that population growth is a factor that won’t help California’s water shortage.  Unfortunately, I have yet to find any news coverage that attempts to come up with real solutions to rapid population growth in the We

Today marks the 19th day of August Congressional Recess in which the open-borders forces were supposed to have been able to change enough Republican Representatives' minds to get a full-scale amnesty and doubling of legal immigration to the floor of the House.  I'm pleased to say that thus far there has been almost no sign of changed minds thanks in good measure to NumbersUSA activists who have attended more than 200 town hall meetings.  These are constituents seeing their own Congressman and not a case of busing people in from the outside or staging political theatre as the other side has done so often.
