The Honorable (full name)
United States (Senate or House of Representatives)
Washington DC, 20510

Dear Representative/Senator (last name):

Please support the Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2001, H.R. 2712 which would enact a five year moratorium on most categories of legal immigration and limit others to a total of 300,000 per year.

The National Commission on Terrorism wrote in its June 2000 report:

"the massive flows of people across U.S. borders makes exclusion of all foreign terrorists impossible."

The sheer numbers -- mass immigration of over one million legal immigrants a year -- not only threatens U.S. national security, but also stresses our schools, hospitals and roads, and is an increasing burden on hard-working American taxpayers and on our unemployed.

-- American workers lose $133 billion annually due to mass immigration -generated wage depression and job loss, according to Dr. George Borjas of Harvard University.

-- American taxpayers will pay a projected $932 billion net (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) in taxes from 1998-2007, due to mass immigration if current immigration and related trends continue, according to Economic Professor Dr. Donald Huddle of Rice University.

-- Over one million Americans have lost their jobs since September 11.

Mass immigration is fueling the U.S.A.'s population explosion, which stresses our infrastructure and our environment. U.S. population is now over 288 million and growing by nearly 3.3 million each year. Over 70% of that annual population growth results from mass immigration. If mass immigration and related trends continue, our population is projected to break the 500 million mark by 2050 and hit 1 billion by 2100 -- the size of China or India today. At the same time, the Census Bureau reports that in 2001 alone, a historic high of over 1.5 million legal immigrants entered the U.S.

Every year in the U.S. we are paving over or developing a land area equal to the size of Delaware, depleting precious underground water supplies 25% faster than they are replenished, and losing more than 2 million acres of prime cropland to development, erosion, salinization, and water-logging. These trends are unsustainable and threaten our own present and our children's future standard of living and quality of life.

Please support the Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2001, H.R. 2712 with an amendment for an all-inclusive ceiling of 100,000, the highest number which would make it possible for the U.S. to achieve population stabilization.

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

(Your Name, Address, and Signature)
