For over 200 years, American policymakers have used immigration increases to pilfer the wealth of multiple generations of American Freedmen before it was even earned. With few notable exceptions, the calls of Black abolitionists and civil rights leaders to set immigration levels with the interests of American workers foremost in mind have been ignored.

Sign H.R. 2 into law to end the border crisis
The ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border will not end unless Congress takes steps to change the Biden administration’s immigration and border policies. It’s clear that passing additional funding without implementing policy changes will only fuel the administration’s catch-and-release policies.

Save what’s left of America’s biodiversity
I am concerned about America’s persistent biodiversity loss, which is a direct result of population growth. Despite all our technological advances, we are completely dependent on healthy ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter, energy, and more.

Limit immigration to save wildlife
The bobcat, lynx, timberwolf, and the capa rose are among the over 1,500 plants and animals now on the growing U.S. threatened species list. The ones we are more familiar with are out of our helpful reach. Elephants, pandas, and pangolins don’t live within the US borders where we have our legal system to use as our tool of protection. Here in the U.S. we lose a football field worth of their natural habitat every 30 seconds. That is because we are adding the equivalent of a NFL football stadium full of people into our already overstressed overused landscapes every ten days.

Mandate E-Verify
Requiring employers to run new hires through the Chamber of Commerce-supported E-Verify system, would gently move illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs. Over time, more than 7 million illegal aliens in non-agricultural jobs would be replaced by unemployed Americans and legal immigrants. While not solving America’s unemployment or illegal immigration problems, mandatory E-Verify would certainly lessen their severity.
