We Need Your Help!

FAIR is fighting to restore common sense border controls and an immigration policy that works for America and the future of all Americans. Over the past year, America’s immigration and border controls have fallen apart due to ineffective leadership from Washington. We face a true national emergency! There is no time to lose. 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 Cuts Foreign Worker Expansions, Passes DHS Funding Bill

September 29, 2023
On Thursday, September 28, the House passed H.R. 4367, funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for Fiscal Year 2024. Final passage of the bill followed adoption of a FAIR-supported amendment to remove two damaging guest worker provisions, relating to the H-2A and H-2B visa programs, which would have dramatically expanded the programs and harmed American workers. Specifically, those provisions would have 1) removed the seasonal or temporary requirement from the H-2A program, allowing visa holders to work year-round, and 2) exempted “returning workers” from the annual H-2B visa cap.

The Left’s Solution to Border Crisis: Just Give Everyone Work Permits!

By
FAIR Staff
- September 27, 2023
One hallmark of the left is its repetitive adherence to party talking points. Defection from the official narrative is much frowned upon. Thus, now faced with the staggering costs and consequences of an epic border surge - of their own making - mass immigration advocates at every level of government have begun uniformly parroting the inane idea that issuing work permits for all migrants is the cure for the current crisis.

Mass Migration Also Imports Foreign Conflicts

By

- September 26, 2023
Among the many inconvenient facts about mass migration that the open-borders lobby does not wish to talk about is that the newcomers bring with them various grievances – which sometimes run very deep – from their homelands. That is rarely the case, as demonstrated by recent violent riots between the supporters and opponents of the current regime in Eritrea in the streets of Norway and Israel.

U.S. Border Immigration Crisis Passes Through Eagle Pass, Texas

By
FAIR
- September 26, 2023
There is bitter irony amid the thousands of migrants surging into Eagle Pass, Texas.

The town on the Rio Grande has been a focal point of the state’s multibillion-dollar border security program, which includes laying razor wire, floating a river barrier between Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Mexico, and arresting migrants on trespassing charges in the city. But whatever actions Gov. Greg Abbott takes, the Biden administration has countered in the field and in court.

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

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 support 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.
