NumbersUSA and the Coalition for the Future American Worker have begun a nationwide education campaign with a TV advertisement that will be airing on cable TV soon. Asking for a “time-out,” here is what they had to say in their announcement on Tuesday (you can view the ad here also).
NumbersUSA last November called for a suspension of most immigration.
With the launch of this ad campaign in August, NumbersUSA is accelerating its mobilization for a time-out on the importation of most foreign workers.
The fact is that U.S. immigration policies are on automatic pilot. It doesn’t matter how terrible the economy becomes — it doesn’t matter that 15 million Americans are looking for a job and can’t find one. No matter what, businesses can still seek to cut their labor costs by bringing in as many foreign workers as they did when the economy was booming.
We definitely have observed how an immigration program is on “automatic pilot.” There seems to be absolutely no talk of reducing refugee numbers even though half, if not more, arriving today will not find work.
