No path to citizenship in the lame duck. The border needs attention.

I am very disturbed by Leader Schumer’s speech in front of the Capitol on November 16th, in which he said “We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future is if we welcome immigrants … get a path to citizenship for all 11 million [illegal immigrants].”

Population growth is overwhelming U.S.; please end chain migration

America has a huge problem that’s getting worse. During the past 20 years, America has lost more than 11.5 million acres of open land (an area about the size of New Jersey and New Hampshire combined) to urban development. This trend is being fueled by population growth.

I can’t believe Resident Biden plans to do nothing about the border

Immigration is one of the top issues in exit polls.

Federal action is needed to take population pressures off communities.

I can’t believe how much urban sprawl there’s been in America during the past 20 years — more than 11.5 million acres of open land (an area about the size of New Jersey and New Hampshire combined) has been developed. This trend is being fueled by population growth.

Value the U.S. workforce by reducing immigration

I hope that you oppose any lame-duck Congress attempts to pass more immigration expansions to keep wages down and undermine tech workers.

We cannot achieve a sustainable population with current immigration levels

It’s frustrating that America’s prominent economists can’t acknowledge that economic growth does not require a relentless increase in population. We can grow our economy by using education and technology to increase productivity. With slower population growth, we can make greater progress toward resolving economic and environmental issues while boosting our productivity, and quality of life, as a nation.
