H-1B executive order should signal Congress: Act!

By Henry Barbaro

Even better would be for Congress to pass legislation to replace the H-1B lottery with a system where visas are awarded based on employers’ willingness to pay the highest wages. NumbersUSA’s Great Solutions bill S. 2821, the American Tech Workforce Act, would do just that. Visit our Action Board to ask your Senators and Congressional Representative to co-sponsor this pro-worker legislation.

By Henry Barbaro

With human demands on nature continuing to increase, the future looks grim for America’s butterflies, and for our nation’s biodiversity in general. According to the Census Bureau, the U.S. population is on track to soar to 385 million by 2060, with immigration accounting for almost 90% of that growth. Increased human numbers will drive more and more species off the landscape and toward extinction.

The United States is still home to a rich heritage of biodiversity, including a stunning array of unique and beautiful butterflies. If we hope to bequeath this legacy to our children and grandchildren, Congressional leaders will need to reduce America’s primary, yet discretionary, source of population growth — mass immigration.

By Henry Barbaro

America’s rapid population growth, which spiked during the 2021-2024 border surge, has worsened our nation’s affordable housing crisis.
