Big Amnesty Plans Enable Continued Population Explosion – Help STOP IT!

The White House proposal to Amnesty 1.8 Million “DACA-eligible” Illegal Aliens, in return for limitations on Chain Migration and an end the Visa Lottery would actually not have a beneficial Population Stabilization effect for years.

(In other words, the Legal Immigration of 1.5 Million+ per year would not be reduced much for years under the White House proposal and would greatly increase under other proposals like the Durbin/Graham proposal.)

Consider the White House plan which would give

“…an instant amnesty for an estimated 1.8 million "DACA-eligible" illegal aliens. … and make further cuts to chain migration after those currently in line for other categories have been admitted.(emphasis added)

“The bottom line is that these cuts to chain migration would reduce total legal immigration by about 18 percent in the short term, and 33 percent in the long term (after 10 years). However, the huge size of the amnesty means that under this scheme it will take about 15 years for the chain migration cuts to offset the new green cards awarded in the amnesty. In other words, there would be instant deportation relief for 1.8 million illegal aliens, but a very long wait for immigration relief for Americans.”

“White House Immigration Framework
Big Amnesty Now, Chain Migration Cuts Much Later,”
J. Vaughan, January 31, 2018, cis.org

In addition Amnesty Recipients would be given a 10-year Path to Citizenship and

“The spouses of citizens (and their children) will continue to enter in unlimited numbers and the spouses of Lawful Permanent Residents (and their children) will be capped at about 88,000, as under current law.”

Ibid.

However, most unfortunately,

“All of the approximately 3.9 million people on the waiting list for chain migration green cards will be offered the opportunity to apply for admission under current numerical limits, plus a few extra (see below). According to the State Department, this will ultimately result in the admission of about 2.5 million new immigrants, as some will decline the opportunity and a few will be found to be ineligible for admission. I estimate that the admission of these applicants would take approximately 10 years under the current numerical limits and quotas….(emphasis added)

“Furthermore, the leading proposals being considered by the Senate create a new non-immigrant residency visa for parents of citizens that will replace the green card category…. And the parents of the "Dreamers" who receive amnesty might become eligible for residency under such a program, thus potentially more than doubling the size of the amnesty. (It has been estimated that Dreamers have an average of 1.6 parents in the U.S.)

“…After 10 years, green card awards would settle to a number that is about 33 percent lower than current levels, or about 775,000 per year.”

Ibid.

One consequence of enabling a continued Migration near or above the current 1.5 Million LEGAL Immigrants per year is that the NET (after subtracting Taxes Immigrants pay) Costs of that LEGAL Inflow would remain near $330 Billion per Year! And the effects on the Natural and Personal Safety Environments would remain.

Thus the White House and other Proposals demonstrate how important it is to maximize downward pressure on the numbers by pushing for a Zero-Net Moratorium as all ASAP! Coalition Member Organizations do. Is it not, therefore, true that any group which refuses to push a Moratorium is an Immigration Management Group, NOT a Genuine Reduction Group?

Only our Massive Grassroots Effort can Succeed in reducing the Numbers! Phone Calls or Office Visits are most effective (emails are often ignored and fax machines can be turned off). And please consider that BALANCE is greatly outspent by the Cheap Labor Lobby and various Ethnic Power Lobbies.

TO MAXIMIZE OUR CLOUT PLEASE DONATE NOW.

BALANCE very much needs you to make a Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY. Dollar for Dollar, Donations to BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies who push a Moratorium, create much more Political Clout than Donations to Mass Immigration Management Groups.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR U.S. POPULATION STABILIZATION

& SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS
—THE ONLY STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS—
BALANCE YEAR-END ALERT!

The next few weeks provide the Best (& likely Last?!) Opportunity to Achieve U.S. Population Stabilization and Sustainable Environmental Protection since BALANCE was founded 45 years ago, However, thousands of activists led by BALANCE activists are needed to push Congress to cooperate by implementing The Only Strategy for Success.

“Help me, Dad.” Kate Steinle’s dying words and the Deaths of Hundreds of others remind us of the importance of intensifying our effort.

The Only Strategy is simple. Inform your Representatives of The Facts and provide them with and push for The Solution described below. So first, The Facts:

The Economic Environment

— Legal Immigration is very costly—$330 Billion per year NET (after taxes Immigrants Pay) or $3.3Trillion for 10 years in Federal taxpayer Costs alone to support the 1.5 Million Annual Legal Immigrant Flow! (J. Williams, CCN/Shadowstats.com). We must reduce Legal Immigration to Reduce the Deficit.

— A substantial majority of Legal and Illegal Immigrants have low education levels. The  average newcomer from Central America has less than an eighth grade education. And if 10 Million Illegals alone were Amnestied, the NET cost to Taxpayers would be $1.29 TRILLION or about $15,000 including State and Locals Costs for each and every Household in the USA! (R. Rector—National Academy of Sciences, November 2016). This study also found no evidence that low-skill workers are a net economic benefit.)

The Personal Safety Environment

— Over 90,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens were released into U.S. Communities in 2015 alone! (DHS data)into the relatively Safe (for them!) Environments of “Sanctuary Cities”!

“Help me, Dad.” Kate Steinle’s dying words impel all of us to redouble our efforts to oppose Sanctuary Cities, Reduce Legal and Stop Illegal Immigration. The Boston Bombers, San Bernardino Shooters and ISIS Truck Driver who ran down Pedestrians and Cyclists in New York City recently were all Legal Immigrants!

The Employment Environment

— During the Obama Years Immigrant Employment has risen 4.3 times faster than Native-born employment, and large companies like Disney and Abbott Labs have laid off American workers so they can hire cheaper foreign labor under the H1b program, while typically requiring American workers to train their replacements as a condition to receiving their Severance packages (Rubenstein, vDare.com)

The Natural Environment

— And the USA's long-term sustainability is being seriously damaged by the Mass Immigration of about 1.5 Million Legal and hundreds of thousands of Illegals every year. We reiterate that for every person added to the U.S. Population, one acre of Wildlife Habitat or Prime Farmland is converted to developed uses (Pimentel et. al. Cornell)

— The USA is paving the world's Breadbasket (i.e., the USA) at a rate of 39,000 square miles (25 Million Acres) every 15 years! Periodically Drought stricken California alone receives 400,000 Legal Immigrants per year who consume an ADDITIONAL Million Acre-feet of water per year, water that could be used for water-short California Agriculture! And this inflow exacerbates California’s housing, budget and transportation crises. Do the Major Urban Areas across the USA really need increasing demand for housing and more vehicles on the roads?!

— Mass Immigration constitutes about 90% of U.S. Population Growth, and since the World's population increases by about 80 Million/Year the pressure to come to the USA will only increase. We must stop Mass Immigration to protect our environment long-term.

Legislation

The RAISE Act S354 (Cotton R-AR, Perdue R-GA) is a Good Bill But contains Three Serious Flaws.

It would:

¾    Reduce Legal Immigration by at least half to about 500,000 per year

¾    Require that Legal Immigrants speak English

¾    Require that Legal Immigrants NOT receive Welfare for 5 Years

¾    Limit "Refugees" to 50,000 per year

¾    End the Visa Lottery, and, above all…

¾    Reduce Chain Migration from appx 480,000 per year to appx.  88,000 per year by limiting family- sponsored Immigrants to spouses and minor children of US Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents.

It is Seriously flawed because:

1)      It would still allow over half a million Legal Entrants annually and thus Validates a continuation of Mass Immigration ad Infinitum—clearly Not Sustainable.

2)      By adopting a piecemeal Multi-Category approach is extremely vulnerable to Many Weakening Amendments

3)      It fails to push an all-categories-included 150,000 CAP.  BALANCE’s Push for a Zero-Net Moratorium would not only impose such a CAP but it also maximizes Political Pressure to get Reductions. The RAISE Act  Fails this Test

And, one of the RAISE Bill's alleged strong points, the Merits-based system for admitting skilled workers (H1bs) is well-intentioned but would allow far too many admissions. It is based on flawed data that American workers to not have the necessary skills, it lends itself to “gaming”, and would result in continuing job loss and wage depression among American workers.

¾    The Bill also would allow admission of too many “Refugees” (what about addressing the Needs of the USA’s hundreds of thousands of homeless first?) and allows  H2b low skilled workers, many of whose prospective jobs should either go to Americans or are, in any case, disappearing because of automation.

THE MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR THE RAISE ACT AND OTHER GOOD REDUCTIONIST BILLS IS THAT MOST OF THEIR SUPPORTERS DO NOT HAVE A CLUE MUCH LESS A STRATEGY FOR ACTUALLY GETTING THEM PASSED!

Indeed, ONLY ONE STRATEGY maximizes political pressure to achieve dramatic Reductions in Immigration, including the RAISE Act, ONLY BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies push this Strategy—push a Zero-Net Moratorium on Legal Immigration and bring Illegal Immigration to a Halt!

Pushing a Zero-Net Moratorium (which would still allow Legal Immigration of 150,000 per Year because Immigration would then equal Emigration) is key as an objective because it is reasonable and Essential for long-term Environmental and Personal Protection and for providing Sufficient Resources, INCLUDING WATER and FOOD and Money, for survival. Today, we are in the process of exceeding our long-term Carrying Capacity.

In sum, a Zero-Net Moratorium is The Necessary Condition for achieving U.S. Population Stabilization, long term Environmental Protection, Budgetary Solvency in State and Local Government (especially for our Health Care and Educational Institutions), Tax Reduction, Unemployment Reduction, Social and Cultural Cohesion and Personal Safety ... and for protection of our Food and Water Supplies!

Only our Massive Grassroots Effort can Succeed! Phone Calls or Office Visits followed by Snail Mail letters are most effective (emails are often ignored and fax machines can be turned off). And please consider that BALANCE is greatly outspent by the Cheap Labor Lobby and various Ethnic Power Lobbies.

So Please Help BALANCE MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS to Intensify our push for the aforementioned ASAP! Coalition Initiatives, TODAY, NOW!

U.S . POPULATION STABILIZATION POSSIBLE

with BALANCE’s  “ONLY REAL SOLUTION”—IF WE ACT NOW

Just a few days NOW, and then a few weeks in 2017 could make or Break the U.S. Population Stabilization Movement.

Mass Immigration, now nearly 90% of U.S. population growth, has been The Major Cause of the USAs population soaring from 150 Million in 1950 to over 330 Million today. That growth is accelerating due to demographic momentum.

And if Illegal Immigration and Mass Legal Immigration of about 1.5 Million/year is not dramatically reduced, the USA’s population will indeed hit ONE BILLION IN 2075 as BALANCE warned a decade ago (A population increasing at 2%/year doubles every 35 years!)

So we have only a few weeks or at most a very few months in 2017 to ensure that Provisions dramatically reducing the numbers of Legal Immigrants get included in the upcoming immigration legislation aimed at halting Illegal Immigration  and get enacted into law.  With President Trump and Attorney General Sessions we have a Real Opportunity to achieve this IF WE ALL PUSH BALANCE’s REAL SOLUTION.

That is, go all-out to push a ZERO-NET MORATORIUM on LEGAL IMMIGRATION. That Maximizes Political Pressure, as well as being the Necessary Condition for ever achieving U.S. Population Stabilization, and all the benefits which come with it including Environmental Protection, Job and Budget Protection and Indeed Personal and National Security.

Pushing anything less than an MORATORIUM is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE because it sends the Message that Mass Immigration is OK if we just tweak it w bit. ONLY BALANCE and its ASAP Coalition Allies push a Moratorium!!

But WE have only  A FEW DAYS LEFT IN 2016 to obtain sufficient (Tax deductible for 2016!) Donations to Maximize our chances of Success in 2017!! It may well be our last Opportunity, given Political Realities!

SO PLEASE DONATE AS MUCH AS YOU ARE ABLE BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR … And remember how much is at stake!

• “For every person added to the U.S. Population One Acre of Farmland or Natural Habitat is converted to developed Uses.”
