'Immigration By The Numbers -- Off The Charts'
Click here to view it.
Almost nothing will have a greater impact on the quality of life we leave to our children and grandchildren than how Congress sets immigration numbers today.
The American people have never asked for increased immigration but, since the 1970s, Congress has pushed immigration to four times our traditional levels. In the 1990s, President Clinton's Commission on Sustainability recommended reductions back towards our historical averages but Congress ignored those recommendations.
Many in this Congress are working to double immigration numbers again.
We have designed this video to be shared with your relatives and friends whom you may not be sure how they will react to an appeal for lower immigration numbers.
Nearly every one of your friends and relatives is going to lose major things they love about life in the U.S. if immigration policies aren't changed. They just may not know it yet. Will you give them a chance this weekend to see the threat we are all under?
Our video lays out in 10 minutes the practical necessity for Congress to cut legal and illegal immigration every place possible.
If you are new to NumbersUSA, I really encourage you to take a few minutes to look at the video now because it will help you make sense of everything we do. And I think it will cause nearly all of you to move your immigration activism to an even higher priority.

NOT THE 'GUMBALLS' VIDEO
This is a companion piece to our "gumballs" video, which deals with ethical considerations of immigration and world poverty.
This video deals with the consequences of immigration to our country, to our environmental resources, to our quality of life.
If you are an immigrant, you have the same stake in this as I do. Our children's grandchildren will have no say in the future we leave to them.

Frankly, few Americans have ever thought about the cumulative devastation that immigration policies are leading toward.
Most Americans react to this presentation in one of two ways:
- They refuse to believe that the projections based on Census data are true, because they are so frightening.
- They are horrified, believe the data and commit themselves to change the future.
We truly need millions of Americans to watch this video.
After watching this video, I think your friends will agree that the key factor in immigration is the numbers. Now ask yourself, how many political speeches have you heard in the last year that talked about the numbers? How many news reports have you read about a debate on numerical limits?
Friends, we created this video for mass education of the public on why they must push Congress to immediately change our immigration policies to stop the present ruinous course. Congress will not address the numbers unless they feel pressure from their constituents to do so.
Whether an American is a liberal, a conservative or a centrist, doesn't really matter. What he/she likes most about America cannot survive the demographic tidal wave illustrated in this "Charts" video.
