My opinions are my own.

I want to engage with people about immigration. I am not an echo chamber. Let's talk policy.

Congrats to NumbersUSA Champion and new Republican Minority Leader @Jim_Jordan

Abdul El-Sayed is telling Black voters the 1965 Immigration Act was a civil-rights achievement that made his family’s immigration possible.

Roy Beck responds with the part El-Sayed leaves out: that law quadrupled immigration, increasing labor competition & hurting Black workers.

Zohran Mamdani calls to abolish ICE and "end immigration enforcement activities in New York City."

The OPT program gives employers a 7.65% payroll tax break for hiring certain foreign graduates over Americans.

Notre Dame grad student Zach Gordon explains how OPT puts his generation at a disadvantage and why Congress should pass H.R. 2315 and end it.

Amnesty is always the answer. @JessicaV_CIS @iaproject @AndreNumbersUSA @NumbersUSA @RyanGirdusky

NumbersUSA appreciates @RepLisaMcClain including us in conference messaging and outreach meetings. She has worked with NumbersUSA to pass border security legislation in the 119th Congress.

So we pivot. And we find a way. And we keep going.

🚨 Early voting is under way in Kansas.

With Election Day just a few days away, compare where the U.S. Senate candidates stand on amnesty, sanctuary policies, border security, and more.

History shows what happens when employers can no longer rely on illegal labor.

After ICE raids and audits, employers raised wages, offered hiring bonuses, and recruited American workers.

Americans will do these jobs when employers pay them fairly. https://t.co/p9nKYBfwXw

@RealNyhiem They called white people in America indentured servants. Once they paid their debt most of them could blend back in to the dominant white class.

🚨 Pennsylvania voters, Election Day is just one week away!

Two key races to watch are #PA07 and #PA10.

Compare where the candidates stand on amnesty, sanctuary policies, border security, E-Verify, and more.

More illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa caught scamming the United States government again.

BREAKING: DHS announces via federal register that Secretary Mullin is closing a Biden-era loophole that allowed Chinese nationals to travel to the Northern Mariana Islands without a visa for 14 days, which four GOP Senators alleged was facilitating Chinese birth tourism. Senators @SenMikeLee, @votetimscott, @SenBillCassidy, & @JohnCornyn had written a letter to Mullin in April, urging him to close the loophole, which Mullin has now done.

Via the notice:

“The Secretary has broad authority to suspend the program for good cause,
including threats to national security, law enforcement interests, and immigration enforcement. The Secretary has determined that there is good cause to suspend EVS-
TAP, while DHS, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Interior, evaluates the program.”

The population of Haiti is around 12 million. According to Google, 17 percent of Haitians live abroad. Thus if you do the math that's two million people. Thus my statement of millions is correct. However, when I made this statement I was thinking about Venezuelans. Doing the math, I'm still right.

🚨 A new migrant caravan is heading through Mexico toward the U.S.

The Trump Admin has stopped mass releases at the border, but the incentives remain.

Congress must close asylum loopholes and address the jobs magnet to prevent the next border crisis.

How do Haitians not have money when they are returned to Haiti since they all claimed they are so hard-working in the United States. How is Haiti overwhelmed by bringing Haitians back to Haiti? Community unity should help, right?

[Andre Barnes @AndreNumbersUSA]

Mark and people like him miss the point. No one is against the Somalis, the people. They have received preferential treatment. The sheer numbers of them have helped drive down wages and created competition for housing. Their numbers have helped them gain political power. So much so that their elected officials speak in their language and walk on egg shells to ensure they are not angered. The American voters, especially Black Americans are ignored until election time. Even then, most of their political needs are not even addressed.

@ahmedaden000 @KatTheHammer1 You need to check your definition and understanding of immigration. Don't put me or my people, in a category of people who chose to come here. That is not our story. We don't fit the definition of immigrant.
