“Four immigration-reduction amendments”
I think this is really stupid strategy from NumbersUSA as they are now using the same tactic pro-illegal groups are using, ie labeling these issues as “immigration issues” rather than “illegal alien issue”.
Earth to NumbersUSA:
THIS IS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ISSUE, NOT IMMIGRATION ISSUE.
This does not help anti-alien issue one bit. Besides, 97% of the foreigners here are illegals, the remaining 3% are legal (and if there are some breaking the law they should of course be deported).
Vast majority of the country is willing to support the cause of fight against illegal immigration. It is also logical to fight crime. Once you label all “immigrants” bad you lose a lot of support and you also get the accusations of racism (yes this is baseless, but happening anyway). It would make much more sense to state these issues “anti illegal immigration reduction”
This does not help anti-alien issue one bit.

Good...
Who would want to help that “issue” ???
BTW your percentages are waaaaaaaay off...
People are coming around that during a Depression we cannot be taking in 1 million legal immigrants a year. Numbers were dropped during the last Great Depression, numbers will need to be lowered for this Depression. Illegal immigrants will face a more severe opposition as unemployment hits 10+ nationally. Since we closed off our frontier for development, gave a way all our manufacturing jobs for paper shuffling jobs, we do not have labor intensive industries left. Thus the traditional immigration levels must be reduced accordingly to reflect our new reality.
To an extent, I agree about the confusion...however, while most of us concern ourselves with anti-illegal immigration issues...NumbersUSA is also in favor of capping legal immigration. If you’ve never watched their “gumball” video, it explains why.
