Please cosponsor H.R. 8586, the Americans First Immigration Act.

I urge you to cosponsor H.R. 8586, the Americans First Immigration Act, which would modernize our immigration system to boost U.S. productivity, raise wages for American workers, and ensure success for new American immigrants.

Too much of our immigration system is based on luck. Over 250,000 immigrants every year are selected based on their extended-family relationships or a random lottery. H.R. 8586 would restore intentionality to the immigration system to ensure fairness. It would require employers to recruit and consider qualified American workers first before turning to foreign labor. It would set salary floors well above state median wages so that no foreign worker is admitted to undercut American pay. It would condition permanent residence on continued employment and self-sufficiency rather than rewarding welfare use. And it would tie legal immigration totals directly to enforcement performance, ensuring that illegal releases at the border reduce the legal immigration available the following year.

Two independent economic models project that this legislation would reduce the federal debt by $3.8 trillion over 30 years and increase per capita GDP by 2.65 percent. Americans deserve an immigration system designed for their interests, their wages, and their communities. Please cosponsor H.R. 8586 and help build the coalition that will pass it.
