The American way of life and the future of our natural environment and resource base depends on restoring the proper balance between our needs and the unlimited demands of millions on the move.

But we can’t fight this battle alone. WE NEED YOU TO TAKE ACTION NOW! Can we count on you for a donation or even a monthly contribution? Whether it’s $25, $50, $100 or more, the action you take now will help us continue the fight for an America we can be proud of and the rest of the world will respect.

House Committee Proposes Unlimited Foreign Workers, FAIR Pushes Back

By
FAIR Staff
- June 16, 2023
Just over one month ago, House leadership passed a strong border security and immigration reform bill, titled Secure the Border Act of 2023. That bill included significant changes to our asylum system, limited the Department of Homeland Security Secretary’s ability to parole illegal aliens into the country, and increased border security resources for the men and women on our front lines. FAIR said it was a “landmark piece of legislation that will secure our borders and fulfill the promise the Republican House majority made in the Commitment to America.” Unfortunately, while this was a good first step, the spending bill proposed by some House leaders calls into question their priorities and their commitment to protect the country and American workers.

Biden Administration Deceives Americans on Border Encounters

By
FAIR Staff
- June 16, 2023
In an attempt to continue to mislead the American people concerning the ongoing catastrophic crisis at our borders, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reporting a 70 percent decrease in border crossings between the Ports of Entry (POE) since it ended Title 42 on May 11. If the claim of victory by Secretary Mayorkas seems too good to be true, it is. The reality is total nationwide border encounters are not down, as they suggest. The Biden administration’s narrative of a significant reduction is a well-executed sleight of hand as part of a complicated, intentional shell game where they have shifted the crisis from in between the Ports of Entry (POEs), to the POEs themselves.

What You Need to Know About Immigration

Growing Amnesty

Amnesty

Amnesty is usually understood as the granting of legal status to a foreign national who illegally entered the United States or illegally overstayed their work or travel visa.

Illegal Immigration

Illegal Immigration

Each year, hundreds of thousands of aliens deliberately violate our nation’s laws by unlawfully crossing U.S. borders.

National Security

Immigration and National Security

Maintaining an acceptable level of National Security is dependent on ensuring that strong immigration policies are in force.

Legal Immigration

At FAIR, we believe that a well thought-out and well-enforced immigration policy plays an important role in helping maintain the quality of life in America.

Take Action Today!

It’s easy to become emotional about topics like immigration reform. For those of us who have grown up with and embraced the concept of sovereignty, it’s difficult to imagine a country, a nation without secure borders. And without the policies and legal processes that keep our sovereignty as originally imagined, we risk losing it all to those who embrace an agenda of mass uncontrolled immigration, sanctuary cities and cheap labor.

And yet, that is the very real threat we are facing today from anti-border radicals. And that’s why real action is needed — action that is part of that definition, part of that protection that we all value most.

Indeed, until all of us who care deeply about this issue take action, immigration reform is simply an intellectual exercise. And clearly, thought and words and sentiments are simply not enough to see us through.

Make no mistake, FAIR is fighting back by launching new projects and initiatives that:

  • Put America first,
  • Stop the flow of federal money to sanctuary cities, and
  • End the terrible policy of chain migration.

But this is a battle that we can’t fight alone. And one way you can help, right now, is a donation or even a monthly contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to the preservation of the America we know and love.

Get involved. Stay Involved. Take action now.
