"The most important public policy
issue concerning immigration is the
numbers. This is true in terms of the way immigration affects
housing, schools,
streets and roads, public transportation, bridges, and other
infrastructure,
wages, social services, taxes, urban sprawl, traffic, natural
habitat, air and
water quality.
"Our concern now, as it has always been:
THE NUMBERS. It is the numerical
level of immigration that makes it a hot topic today. If
the numbers were
brought back down to the level of the 1950s or 1960s (close
to the average for
the
entire history of the U.S.), immigration would not be an
issue at all, as it
was not an issue of concern to Americans in the 1950s and
1960s.
"It is the quadrupling of legal immigration
flows and an even greater
increase in illegal immigration since 1965 that has caused
the majority of
Americans
to tell pollsters they are unhappy with current immigration.
It's the
numbers. We believe the issue is the numbers. That's
why we chose as our
name,
NumbersUSA."
In our view, NUSA is an efficient and effective population
stabilization
organization. NUSA's concern is with the
numbers and is not very hospitable
to
nativists, anti-immigrants, and racists. NUSA's
website provides visitors (a)
with understandable information about immigration and (b)
with simple means of
communicating with legislators. Active volunteers strive
to help journalists
maintain equilibrium in the often slanted world of immigration
reporting.
NUSA's lobbying staff motivates Congress
to move immigration legislation in
the
direction most constituents would prefer, i. e., a smaller
number of immigrants.
NUSA has not been evaluated by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
