MOST IMPORTANT IMMIGRATION BILL INTRODUCED TODAY

An interesting post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ about a HOUSE bill to end Chain Migration. This follows this post about Senator Cornyn's pro amnesty stance and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read a very interesting book HERE!


MOST IMPORTANT IMMIGRATION BILL INTRODUCED TODAY





H.R. 692 WOULD STOP ALL CHAIN MIGRATION






Friends this bill would do more than any other single action to reduce overall legal and illegal immigration numbers.






That is a big claim. (I will come back to you at another time on why stopping legal Chain Migration would also stop a lot of illegal immigration.) But I will tell you that this bill is NumbersUSA's No. 1 legislative goal. And it has been No. 1 with us since we formed in 1996.






ACTION -- Send a free fax to your U.S. Representative and urge him/her to co-sponsor the End-Chain-Migration bill.

NEARLY QUARTER MILLION FEWER FOREIGN WORK VISAS A YEAR






With the simple passage of this bill -- and at no expense to the federal government -- H.R. 692 would reduce the number of permanent work visas for foreign citizens by nearly a quarter million a year!






H.R. 692 would eliminate family chain categories that have been engorging the U.S. laborforce with unneeded workers. These permanent work permits are handed to these relatives


without any regard to their skills






without any regard to their education






without any regard to their own humanitarian claims






without any regard to whether there is a job for them.


The Chain Migration categories are among the worst examples of an immigration system that is on auto pilot and floods the country with new workers, new users of infrastructure and new users of public services without any regard to their effect on the American people.






Under H.R. 692, recent immigrants no longer would be able to bring additional immigrants into the country because they are:


brothers and sisters






adult children






parents


The only immigration that immigrants would be allowed to control in the future would be to bring in their spouse and minor children -- the traditional nuclear family.






Fax your U.S. Representative now and ask him/her to sign this bill and dramatically reduce the foreign competition for U.S. jobs needed by 22 million unemployed Americans who can't find a full-time job.






There is nothing intrinsically wrong about an immigrant being able to bring siblings, parents or adult children into the country. But the numbers add up to an effect that is a profound disservice to the American taxpayer, to the American worker and to the American citizen.






FAMILY IMMIGRATION SHOULD BE LIMITED TO NUCLEAR FAMILY






H.R. 692 is named the Nuclear Family Priority Act.






Once again, it has been introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.).






This bill conforms with what polls show most American think immigration policy should do in terms of families. That is, most Americans don't think an immigrant should demand to bring his/her entire extended family once he/she has been granted the incredible opportunity to be an immigrant.






Immigrants allowed into the U.S. can visit their extended family by air travel once a year (just like many Americans do with relatives that live in other states) or more. They can communicate with their extended family daily by phone and hourly by internet and other social media. Their extended family can come to the U.S. to visit them.






But immigrants should NOT feel entitled to put large extended families on waiting lists to get permanent U.S. work permits.






Tell that to your U.S. Representative when you send a free fax to him/her to co-sponsor H.R. 692.






BILL IS HUMANE FOR TREATMENT OF PARENTS






Until 1959, immigrants weren't allowed to send for parents, adult children or siblings.






But Rep. Gingrey's H.R. 692 provides a major humane offer to immigrants who want to care for their aging parents over extended periods.






H.R. 692 allows immigrants to bring their parents to the U.S. on VISITOR visas that can last as long as 5 years, and can be renewed.






But unlike current conditions, H.R. 692 imposes these conditions on parents:


Parents are not immigrants and cannot become U.S. citizens










Parents wouldn't be able to petition for other relatives to immigrate










Parents wouldn't be allowed to use taxpayer-supported public services










Parents' health care would have to be fully provided by their naturalized U.S. citizen children










Parents wouldn't be allowed to hold a U.S. job.










Violation of the restrictions would result in parents being sent home.


But the bottom line would be nearly a quarter million fewer new immigrants each year to be competing for jobs and competing for public services and demanding more physical infrastructure and requiring vast new amounts of natural habitat to provide for their residence, work, recreation, etc.
