NumbersUSA advocates dramatically reducing legal immigration levels and cracking down on undocumented immigrants’ employment. Its positions are diametrically opposed to those of FWD.us. That Conway took a paycheck from both groups within months of each other was surprising—like advising Planned Parenthood one day and National Right to Life the next.

Since 2005, U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) has been introducing H-1B reform legislation in the House and getting nowhere. But with the bill he introduced today, he might have struck gold.
Pascrell calls his bill bipartisan, but that doesn't quite do it justice. The co-sponsors of this bill, called the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2017, are about as far apart politically as you can get.
NumbersUSA sent out the following message last night to all Members of Congress, notifying them that we will score against the omnibus spending bill because of a provision that could potentially quadruple H-2B low-skilled worker visas in 2016 and its full funding, including Pres. Obama's proposed expansion, of the refugee resettlement program.
Our members are creating quite a stir in congressional offices around the country by challenging Members of Congress who can truthfully say they have taken no bad immigration actions the past 18 months. The simple explanation is that our campaign is based not on on what these Members of Congress have DONE but what they have NOT done.
Rep. John Boozman (R.Ark.) received more than 50% of the vote in Tuesday's Republican Senatorial Primary, avoiding a run-off and winning the party's nomination for the Senate seat currently held by Blanche Lincoln. Rep. Boozman holds a career A-grade and completed a NumbersUSA Immigration-Reduction Survey, agreeing with NumbersUSA on all our key issues.
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) has served in the Senate for nearly 30 years, but the five-term incumbent lost his primary bid for a sixth term on Tuesday. Sen. Specter has a career D-grade over the last two Congresses and holds a D or worse in every category graded by NumbersUSA except for one.
