Legislative Goals By NumbersUSA And Purpose Of Forming The Body
The formation of NumbersUSA by Roy Beck entailed various legislative goals by the body. These are ending chain migration, mandate E-Verify, end the visa lottery, end birthright citizenship, and increase interior enforcement.
Over 60% of legal immigration to the United States is based on family, and not on the country’s economic needs. Presently, the law permits legal permanent residents and citizens in the U.S. to sponsor extended members of the family. NumbersUSA supports the restriction of family-related immigration to minor children and spouses.
The “Illegal Immigration Reform & Accountability Act” of 1996 created a basic pilot system that has developed into today’s electronic system. This is can be used to verify employment details through electronic verification. NumbersUSA supports laws that require all employers across the country to utilize the system in ensuring that all new employees are eligible to operate in the United States.
The diversity visa lottery offers over 50,000 green cards each year for underrepresented countries/regions despite the skills of individuals or the country’s economic needs. Visa Lottery also poses a national security threat by giving green cards to countries that support terrorism and that something NumbersUSA opposes.
The United States is among the two developed countries that continue to automatically grant citizenship to every born baby in the country. NumbersUSA supports laws that restrict the automatic grant of citizenship to newborns whose one parent has legal permanent residency or is a U.S. citizen. Refer to this article for additional information.
NumbersUSA does not support amnesty to people who live in the country illegally but requires the government to use Attrition Through Enforcement. This would eradicate the magnets that allure illegal immigrants.
Through the “Research Foundation and Education”, the body conducts the effects of a high number of immigrants and educates the public, policymakers including opinion leaders about the results of the same. NumbersUSA roles are founded on environmental sustainability, the rule of law, individual liberty, opposition to federal immigrants’ policies and economic justice.
