NumbersUSA
NumbersUSA is an immigration reduction organization that seeks to reduce US immigration levels to pre-1965 levels without country of origin quotas as established in the Immigration Act of 1924. It advocates for immigration reduction through user-generated fax, email, and direct mail campaigns. NumbersUSA also seeks to educate the public about the environmental, social, and economic impacts of immigration policy.
== History ==
NumbersUSA was founded by Roy Beck while he worked for anti-immigration environmental activist John Tanton. Beck says that he started NumbersUSA after he wrote ''The Case Against Immigration '' (ISBN 0393039153). In the course of researching the book he tracked many of the problems in the US to immigration.〔"Roy Beck", Joseph A D'Agostino. ''Human Events. Washington: August 25, 2003. Vol. 59, Iss. 29; pg. 16〕 However, Beck says that NumbersUSA has been independent of Tanton since 2002.
NumbersUSA has grown aggressively since its inception. In 2004, it reported 50,000 members. In 2007, it claimed its website had 1.5 million visitors.〔http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2007/12/05/4435261-more-oh-eight-rise-of-the-non-profits〕 The organization currently claims as of December 2011 1.1 million member activists.
On June 28, 2007, NumbersUSA claimed a victory after a sweeping immigration bill collapsed in the U.S. Senate. The organization's members used information and tools from NumbersUSA to contact legislators and voice opposition.〔
