Pres. Trump Endorses New Bill to Cut Immigration in Half

Bill would revolutionize America's legal immigration system by eliminating chain migration and visa lottery;
puts worker visas into merit-based point system.

This is our best chance ever to so dramatically cut immigration...

This is it! For 20 years, NumbersUSA and our millions of citizen members have fought together to prevent the disasters that uncontrolled, mass immigration have caused to America and our working families.

Yesterday, after all those years, we saw the President of the United States declare from the White House the need for massive cuts in legal immigration! When President Trump stood with Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton to announce a bill that represents a sweeping overhaul of our immigration system, NumbersUSA's main job turned dramatically from preventing things from getting much, much worse to fighting to actually make things much, much better.

At the White House press conference yesterday morning, NumbersUSA President Roy Beck issued this statement:

"The RAISE Act introduced today by Senators Cotton and Perdue will do more than any other action to fulfill President Trump's promises as a candidate to create an immigration system that puts the interests of American workers first.

"Our recent polling confirms that American v**ers overwhelmingly want far less immigration because they know mass immigration creates unfair competition for American workers.

"Seeing the President standing with the bill's sponsors at the White House gives hope to the tens of millions of struggling Americans in stagnant jobs or outside the labor market altogether. NumbersUSA stands with these Americans in wholeheartedly endorsing the RAISE Act."

-- Roy Beck Statement Distributed at White House Press Conference, August 2, 2017

Patriots, this is the most exciting opportunity to cure America's dysfunctional immigration system we've ever had.

Based on an earlier version of the RAISE Act, this expanded RAISE Act -- with full White House -- would eliminate chain migration and the visa lottery.

And it would cap refugee numbers.

These actions alone would cut legal immigration by more than half.

Under the bill, America will also move to a point system for employment visas designed to give priority to well-paid, top-qualified, English-speaking foreign workers applying for permanent work visas.

The momentum from passing this bill could lead the way to still more great immigration reforms. Things like mandatory E-Verify, a reform of the temporary visa programs, and an end to birthright citizenship for children of i*****l a***ns.

We won't spare anything to turn this bill into law. How could we? This is why we exist!

Help Push the RAISE ACT Through Congress

When Senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia introduced the first version of this bill last winter, Pres. Trump was impressed. But, he wanted it to go further. The heart of Pres. Trump's campaign was to make the immigration system work for the American people. So, he sent Sens. Cotton and Perdue back to Capitol HIll with the task of updating the employment green card system.

After months of tireless work, the fruit of that labor is the RAISE ACT.

Let's finish that work!

NumbersUSA was there to turn back amnesty proposal after amnesty proposal for the last sixteen years.

We were there to inspire 26 states to sue the federal government to block President Obama's illegal executive amnesties.

Now, we're ready to put an end to the outrageously high levels of immigration that have held America's families at a standstill for two generations.

Who's going to oppose this effort to make immigration work for Americans?

The cheap labor lobby, ethnic lobbies, big religion, mainstream media, elites of every description...

They'll attack it like mad, but this bill is good for American workers, it's good for American-operated business, it's good for American taxpayers, and it's good for America as a whole.

Remember the Gang of Eight fight? We were outspent nearly 100 - 1 by our many opponents. Patriots, don't let that happen again. We need you to make the largest Actions you can.

Patriots, we're most excited about this bill because it will drastically reduce immigration. America will choose who immigrates based on what's good for America, not who gets here by accident. It eliminates two of the biggest categories of unhelpful, unneeded immigration: chain migration and the visa lottery.

That's 500,000 fewer immigrants per year. That's on top of measures taken recently by the Trump administration to cut i*****l i*********n.

This bill also replaces dozens of programs that give out green cards (permanent visas) with a single, merit-based point system. Points are given based on predictors of successful assimilation, prosperity and positive fiscal contribution to American society.

Immigrants will get more points if they'll earn 1.5 times, two times, or three times the median wage American workers would make. And they also get points if they'll be actively managing businesses they invest heavily in.

More education also means more points, especially if it's in a STEM field... but only if it's from a real, accredited or USCIS-approved university. No more foreign diploma mills!

The more fluent they are in English, the more points they'll also get. And workers' spouse's education and language sk**ls matter, too.

NumbersUSA does not believe there is a shortage of American workers. We support this bill because it would greatly reduce the number of permanent visas (green cards) issued.

But this bill will go nowhere unless we fight together to make sure Congress knows they can't continue to sell out America to international conglomerates.

We are so proud of all the amnesties and immigration increases we have fought off. We've shocked the Washington elites and media pundits again and again and again.

But we're going to need to double down and fight so much harder to bring about positive change... even with Pres. Trump supporting our goals.

This bill is a farce, a smokescreen to hide more bulls**t. When American college graduates cannot find work in their chosen field, how does it makes sense to import educated folk from elsewhere - to take the jobs THEY should have? It doesn't make sense, until you realize that the imported workers will work for substantially less than Americans.

This is another blatant Oligarch scheme to enrich themselves - disguised as "American first". I can't fault Trump for not seeing the t***h, because he's an i***t and will respond to ass licking like a dog with a treat. I DO blame Mr. potato head ( Tom Cotton ), because he's a snake in the grass.

Trying to sell this crap as "immigration reform" is like calling the Holocaust "urban renewal".

I agree with you Major, the first day I read this bill it's all bulls**t sham....

Last week 3 technical jobs came up with Fortune 500 and 100 companies... and Thousands of Qualified American Citizen's applied...

Guess who got hired instead ?

Someone explain that to me ?


I say it's time to Occuupy Washington and Get this fight started.


The only Bill that works going forward is a

ZERO Immigration Bill

Flat OUT !

I don't think we'll change much, until the American people get their heads out of fantasy land. We spend 100's of billions on medical care, food and providing basic services all over the world, which is a noble undertaking - except - we refuse to do the same for our own citizens and let i***t politicians tell us we can't afford to take care of our own. That's just ignorant behavior, but the American people keep buying the bulls**t their government ( state and Federal ) is feeding them, because they're either too lazy to figure s**t out themselves - or too stupid, maybe a combination of both.

My concern is this; Throughout history, there have been 100's of instances where r*******ns were conducted successfully, to end the former governments excesses or tyranny, and very few of them did not end up becoming tyrannical themselves, Cuba is a classic example. America was once a shining example of a successful r*******n, where the people were placed in power and mechanisms put in place to PREVENT tyranny, but slowly over the last 250 years, the inattention and laziness of the people has allowed special interest groups to erode those protections - until we are a police state, the most heavily taxed civilized nation on earth, and are being bled dry by the very Government that is supposed to BELONG to us. We now belong to the government.

I'm afraid that any future r*******n will fail to return the power to the people as originally intended, as those leading the r*******n will find their new power addictive and not give it up and make us a new Cuba.

Valid points Major always....

Great Post

I don't know what to say except that I will take my chances in the WAR, sorry.

I once had a debate with a conservative that their aim was to eliminate all immigration and they insisted that they were only concerned about i*****l i*********n. Well, in reading this it seems I won the debate. There isn't an economist out there who won't tell you that by shutting down immigration you are putting a strangle hold on the economy. Do you guys honestly think you are so feeble that you can't compete against foreign workers? Put on your muck boots and get out in the field. Lets see how well you can compete vs how much they are paid...

Fuck the Economists !

How's that souund ?

We could end immigration and pay $25 for a head of lettuce...............or we could get our heads out of our asses and end the profiteering that goes on in farm production, medicine, and everything else. BTW, that $25 head of lettuce? The farmer would get his .05 cents per head just like always, but the commodities traders would make a k*****g. Who decided that our food needed to be traded by people who've never even seen a farm, much less worked on one. Get it? Farmers do not set the prices for what they grow, commodities traders do, take a profit and tell us what we'll pay.

Cut out the middlemen and save a ton of money - without switching to GEICO.
