	FrontPage magazine.com :: Quantifying Immigration Reduction by Robert Locke
		The 1965 Immigration “Reform” Act that created the current mess was accompanied by the promise that it would not result in significant numbers of immigrants, so we have no excuse not to realize that the opposition is systematically dishonest about this issue.
		The key to understanding immigration policy is that the annual immigration rate is not set as a single number by a single piece of legislation.
		Even if we decide that historically normal levels of immigration are desirable, we still have to deal with the fact that immigration is a cumulative process and therefore we have to deal with the effects of past excess immigration first.

	Legal Immigration: Setting Priorities
		Immigration supports the national interest by promoting strong and intact nuclear families-that is, the basic social unit consisting of parents and their dependent children living in one household.
		Immigration contributes to this national interest by permitting the entry of close family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who otherwise may be separated for years.
		Immigration carries with it obligations to embrace the common core of the American civic culture, to become able to communicate--to the extent possible--in English with other citizens and residents, and to adapt to fundamental constitutional principles and democratic institutions.

	Center for Immigration Studies
		Central to any consideration of reducing legal immigration and for evaluating reduction proposals is an understanding of the magnitude of the current level of immigration, on what basis are newcomers being admitted, how many are coming in the different categories, and what would be the implications of a reduction in the flow.
		Although a discussion of reduction in legal immigration by eliminating certain categories of immigration was adopted for the purposes of assisting the focus on the component parts of legal immigration, it would also have merit as a policy framework.
		If the current level of immigration is too high for the long-term best interests of the nation, and there is agreement that it should be reduced to lessen the negative impact of immigration on population growth or jobs competition or increased budgetary costs, then there should be public consideration how best to achieve that objective.

	Immigration reduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Immigration reduction refers to movements active within the United States that advocate a reduction in the amount of immigration allowed into the United States or other countries.
		This can include a reduction in the numbers of legal immigrants, advocating for stronger action to be taken to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country, and reductions in non-immigrant temporary work visas (such as H-1B and L-1 in the United States).
		Immigration reductionists insist that those who call the movement anti-immigrant or anti-immigration are incorrect and that the terms immigration reduction or immigration restriction are more accurate.

		Given the gaping flaws in our dilapidated federal immigration bureaucracy, which contributed to the decision to end the I.N.S. as we knew it and fold it into the new Department of Homeland Security, it is preposterous to believe that it is capable of screening 1 million newcomers a year for national security purposes.

	Immigration &the GOP
		Through the years, immigration traditionalists have seen that cap as one that should allow a steady but small flow of immigrants -- a level that can be easily assimilated into the American population without threatening its cohesion and sense of identity.
		At their roots, advocates of traditional levels of immigration have assumed that the American lifestyle, by and large, is a good one that should not be forcibly changed by federal immigration policies.
		Last year, with legal immigration nearing a million, a Newsweek poll found 60 per cent of Americans thought immigration is a bad thing for their country.

	WHY A 100,000 LIMIT ON IMMIGRATION IS REALISTIC AND NECESSARY
		Given that the projected net cost to taxpayers of legal immigration alone will be $932 billion over the next ten years, at an average of $70 billion a year, a moratorium on immigration in excess of 100,000 per year is essential to cut the budget deficit.
		If immigration levels remain at the same or greater rate, most of these multibillion dollar costs would continue to be borne by taxpayers.
		Since immigration is a discretionary policy, the burden of proof is on those advocating more than 100,000 immigrants per year for five years to justify their position.
