We know what it means to add 82 million people. Do we want to do it again?
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?

Miles and Miles of Megalopolises
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:

I=PAT - immigration, emissions, and electric vehicles
Changing the technologies by which we consume is unlikely to reduce overall impact as long as we continue to increase the number of consumers.

Water is quickly being depleted by a growing U.S. population. This is placing an increased demand on rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater for drinking water, farming, and industrial production. This precious resource deserves our protection, stewardship, and care. Yet, our government officials have turned a blind eye to the crucial component of doing so, which is to cut immigration to the U.S.
