A Taboo Question

This taboo question is sweeping the internet and national media (including New York Times and Huffington Post), prompted by the TV ad that has been running in Primary states.

It's a question that every politician ought to have to answer. When you click on one of the buttons below, we will give you a chance to send a free petition to your Members of Congress asking them to back your position.
Every year, federal immigration policies automatically give permanent work permits to about a million new immigrants at every occupation level.
At the same time, 20 million Americans (including foreign-born U.S. citizens) who want a full-time job are unable to find one.

Some politicians question whether this automatic program should continue to add more immigrant competitors for scarce jobs.

Others say the extra competition from another million immigrants is good for the economy overall, adding vitality and needed skill.

This petition is organized by NumbersUSA, America's largest-member
immigration-reduction organization. We are non-profit and non-partisan

NumbersUSA Action is a non-profit, non-partisan, public policy organization that favors an environmentally sustainable and economically just America. It opposes efforts to use federal immigration policies to force mass U.S. population growth and to depress wages of vulnerable workers.

NumbersUSA Action is pro-environment, pro-worker, pro-liberty and pro-immigrant. Activists in the NumbersUSA Action network are Americans of all races and include many immigrants and the spouses, children and parents of immigrants. Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA Action with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an "immigration-reduction organization."© 2011
