Our nation’s leaders have made it clear that immigration reform is going to be a top priority in the 113th Congress.

NPG welcomes that commitment. It is long overdue.

However, in launching this important legislative effort and carrying it forward to completion, we must ensure that America’s long-term interests – not the agendas of dozens of special interest groups – drive our national debate.

In setting policy and priorities for the decades ahead, it is vital that any new immigration rules work to reduce our already soaring population levels.

Current U.S. Census Bureau projections show that America can expect to add 65 million people to our present population of 314 million in the next 20 years. By 2050, we’ll potentially have to accommodate 439 million people. America can’t sustain such huge numbers.

If, as a nation, we are truly committed to leaving our children and grandchildren a decent quality of life, it will fall to our President, Senators, and Congressmen to make responsible decisions on immigration reform in the months ahead. Failure to do so will result in future economic, social, and environmental disaster. The bottom line is that when all is said and done, our entire nation – not any single group – must come out as the winner!

Let the debate begin!

Speak up!
Call your Senators and Congressman.
Demand responsible immigration reform!
