Dear
CCN Supporter:
1.8 Million Immigrants arrived in the USA in
2016 (U.S. Census Bureau) — the Highest Level in U.S. History.
And between 1.5 and 1.6 Million of these were
LEGAL Immigrants. California received over 400,000 LEGAL Immigrants that year
and, under current law that flow continues. And there were 702,000 VISA Over-stayers
in 2017, and 500,000 Illegal Aliens crossed the Border that year!
CCN’s recent Study shows that the NET Costs (after subtracting taxes Immigrants pay) of LEGAL Immigration is $330 BILLION per
year to U.S. Taxpayers ($758 Million per year to each Congressional District or
$1000 per year for each U.S. Taxpayer!).
The $330 BILLION does NOT include NET Costs to
State and Local Taxpayers.
In addition, CCN’s Study found that 5.9 Million Americans have lost their jobs to immigrants since 2005.
NOW, consider the Fact that President Trump has indicated he will shut the Government down unless the new Funding Bill, which
much be passed by September 30, includes funding for the Border Wall.
This means that it is highly likely that such a Bill will include other Immigration Reduction Provisions.
With your help NOW, CCN intends to intensify our push to maximize the Immigration Numbers Reduction in that Bill.
So CCN has drafted a letter below for you to
send to the Members of the Senate and House, and most important to Members of
the Border Security and Immigration Subcommittees of the House and Senate because
these committees are typically the first to “Mark Up” (i.e., Edit/Change) Bills
which are introduced. Below that letter you will find the Names of Subcommittee
Members and links to their Contact Information.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: If one or two of the Members
listed below represents your District or State, you are especially
well-positioned to influence this legislation! Please Do It!
And finally, please Donate to Carrying Capacity Network to help
us intensify our efforts.
OPEN LETTER TO THE
CONGESSIONAL SENATE and HOUSE BORDER SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION SUBCOMMITTEE
MEMBERS—AND ALL OTHER MEMBERS—2017-2018 SESSION OF CONGRESS
Dear
Member of Congress,
We are writing to urge you to support an
Immigration Reduction Bill (see below) which would reduce the USA’s Deficit by over one half TRILLION $s in the Next
Decade and avert a Government shutdown. See Carrying Capacity Network’s
recent Study
of the Annual NET Cost of LEGAL IMMIGRATION which provides Critical Cost Information that has for years been unavailable
you and all of the American people.
For most of the last at least a dozen years,
the average amount of public resources (i.e., tax dollars) wasted/spent
on LEGAL immigration has been an Annual NET Cost of $$ 330 BILLION
($330,000,000.00 Yes , this is the NET l after
deducting taxes paid by Legal immigrants): Carrying
Capacity Network Net Costs of Legal Immigration Study and this does NOT include additional cost borne
by States & Localities.
Our question to you all is:
ARE YOU WILLING TO FINALLY STOP THIS NONSENSE???
We are not exactly sure what benefits have been claimed for the American people from the Annual LEGAL Immigrant flow of approximately 1.5 Million plus (let alone the hapless TAXPAYER) — possibly Chuck and Nancy would claim some, but, NOW — given our prospective $$$ Trillion Deficits, is the PERFECT time for it to cease. We know of no rational argument for its continuance.
If we do the math, $330,000,000 000.00 divided by 330 million U.S. citizens has been a cost equivalent to an annual tax on each U.S. citizen—for a family of four. That is a tax each year of $4000.00!
We believe that the family of four would have had a better use for that money.

Or if you prefer, $330,000,000,000.00 divided by
435 congressional districts equals $758 million that could have been spent in
each of those districts each year.
Congress should have never let this happen. It was a terrible
mistake. The taxpayer can never get his/her money back , but EACH OF YOU
can stop this Outrageous policy now — by passing one simple bill — the ALL-CATEGORIES-INCLUDED
ZERO-NET MORATORIUM ON LEGAL IMMIGRATION first proposed by the DIVERSITY COALITION
in 1996 and presented to Congress in a News Conference hosted by House Ways and
Means Chairman, Bill Archer, from Texas. Had this bill passed, the U.S
taxpayer would have saved trillions of dollars — or at least the taxpayer
could have spent it on himself and HIS family and/or for the Public Good instead
of on others!!!
Enacting a zero-Net Moratorium would reduce the
Annual legal flow from 1.5 plus Million LEGAL Immigrants per year to 150,000 per
year — about the same number as voluntarily leave the USA every year.
And CCN’s Study shows that enacting a zero-net
Moratorium would SAVE ONE HALF TRILLION $$$ in the Next decade!! And Note the
Study Debunks the Myth that we have a Worker Shortage.
Over 5.9 Americans have been displaced from
their Jobs by Immigrants since 2005!! See Net
Costs of Legal Immigration Study.
Or to focus on the purpose of the letter:
these savings can be used to help you and all of us — to avert a
Government shutdown, build The Wall, implement e-Verify, dramatically reduce the U.S. Budget deficit and to pay for all the
GENUINE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!
PLEASE
LET US KNOW ASAP WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO!!
