WHAT IS YOUR PLAN, PRESIDENT BIDEN?

The Members of Negative Population Growth, Inc. respectfully ask what you plan to do to fix the horrible problems now occurring on our nation's southern border. As our Commander in Chief and the primary architect of our current immigration policies, we feel your plans for the near future are vitally important in any discussion regarding border crossings and admission into the country.

Every nation has the right to determine its own immigration policy. For the security of current citizens and legal residents, it makes sense for our government to know who is entering our nation and under what circumstances. For you to allow hundreds of thousands of hopeful immigrants to illegally enter the U.S., only to be released into the country with the hopes that they will return for an immigration hearing, is both dangerous and naive.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reports that more than 311,000 encounters with illegal immigrants were made along the southern border in the first two months of 2023. This comes just after record-setting highs in both 2021 (with more than 2 million encounters) and 2022 (with more than 2.5 million encounters).

Instead of enforcing the laws and ending this surge along our border, you have opted to implement a set of New Border Enforcement Actions which give certain groups special privileges, making it easier for them to enter the United States!

Mr. Biden, you have the ultimate authority to set goals and to enforce immigration laws to work for the benefit of all Americans. Negative Population Growth, Inc. believes that legal immigration should be capped at no more than 200,000 annually. We further believe that- by enforcing all immigration laws currently on the books and by adopting a zero-tolerance policy toward illegal entry and occupancy- illegal immigration can be almost entirely stopped. So please, for the sake of our nation, do what is best for our own people and put an end to the current border crisis. We urge you to:

• End the Catch-and-Release policy that permits tens of thousands of illegal border crossers to escape into the U.S. before they are deemed eligible to stay in the country.
• Stop placing the American people in jeopardy by catering to the demands of illegal aliens!

The hard facts of our current immigration crisis lead one to believe that the United States has simply stopped enforcing immigration laws. It's time for leadership. Please use your position and influence to do what is best for our nation as a whole.

Negative Population Growth, Inc. was founded in 1972 to educate all Americans, including our nation's political, academic, and media leaders, regarding the need for policies designed to slow, halt, and eventually reverse population growth. Understanding that the majority of our population growth since about 1970 is a result of lax immigration policies and the offspring of recent immigrants, NPG must take a firm position on this topic .
