On one of the more difficult Independence Days of my life (how about yours?), I want to think more deeply about what we are celebrating. Or at least, what we should be celebrating.
Perhaps we could be less disunited during our 4th of July celebrations if we could think of the holiday as commemorating the aspirational start of a process that continued through many other wonderful dates in our history. I'll name five others.

New book: Inside story of foundations & media sabotage of immigration enforcement since 1986

If it has seemed for 30 years that powerful forces have intentionally prevented the rule of law in an orderly immigration system, LOSING CONTROL is a new book that tells you how it was done.
I know a lot of this story. I've worked on the issue full-time since 1991, and was a reporter covering it before that. But I learned a lot of new details from this book, enough that they kept me from skimming and kept me reading every word for each new revelation.

Immigration-driven population growth is devouring natural habitat in the United States, threatening wildlife and biodiversity. This raises ethical questions about our responsibility towards our non-human neighbors and surroundings, but we also have a naked self-interest in arresting immigration-driven population growth in order for wildlife and biodiversity to thrive. Writing in The New York Times Magazine Ferris Jabr says we have altered the natural world to a point where zoonotic diseases can spread to humans more efficiently than ever.

Hey Jim,


You've helped We Build The Wall fund AND build President Trump's dream of a wall on the southern border.
And now We Build The Wall has some exciting news that we are thrilled to share with you
After massive successes sealing the U.S. Southern border at our first two job sites in New Mexico and Texas, we are happy to announce that we have plans for TWO MORE job sites.
The locations have been chosen, and will be revealed soon, but first, we have a lofty fundraising goal to hit, and we need your help.
To secure the funding for job sites 3 & 4, we have set a fundraising goal of $750,000 by July 30th, and we need your support today.
Because of your awesome support, the wall on the border with Mexico is now a reality, and we're set to add many more miles of wall in 2020.
To commemorate all of our effort to make history We Build The Wall, our founder Brian Kolfage has reserved a limited number of steel bollards used to construct the wall.
And now Brian and We Build The Wall are selling a small batch of Border Wall steel bollard pieces to help raise money to build even more miles of Trump's wall on our southern border with Mexico.
Each wall segment is 6" x 6" x 2", and is sold as a single piece.
These are actual pieces of the border wall, so each segment of the wall is one-of-a-kind, since some are more weather worn than others, having been affected by the elements.
Some have significant rust, and others have no rust at all -- which adds to the character of each piece of collectible history.
NOTE: The steel hasn't been treated or polished in order to preserve the authenticity and originality of each piece of Border Wall History, so some of the edges may still be rough from the cut.
Each piece of steel border wall is unique, and comes with a commemorative plaque, and each plaque is hand signed by Brian Kolfage.
We decided to crowd fund this project because we knew the American People -- We the People -- could get this done TOGETHER.
And we'd like nothing more than each of you -- our partners -- to share in the experience by owning your own piece of history.
This batch of steel wall is limited in size -- so be sure to get yours while there are still some left.
Our work has been praised by the Department of Homeland Security and Border Patrol.
We’ve even built sections of wall on land where the federal government said it was “impossibleâ€� to build.Â
Our jobs sites are chosen very specifically: we target areas that are the most highly-trafficked by illegal aliens, and we seal them off for good
We also work fast, which means as quickly as our projects are funded by YOU, red-blooded Americans from across the country, we’re out there securing the Border.Â
So chip into our campaign to build on Job Sites 3 & 4 TODAY, and show us that you’re ready to KEEP securing the border and protecting America’s national sovereignty for generations to come!

[h=3]Your phone calls helped keep visa giveaway bill off Senate GOP coronavirus relief legislation![/h]Dear activists,
Yesterday, we asked you to call your GOP Senator(s) and urge them to oppose adding S. 3599, the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act, to their coronavirus relief bill. S. 3599, introduced by Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) would have set aside 40,000 additional green cards for importing more foreign doctors and nurses.
Your phone calls worked!
Last night, Senate GOP Leaders released the legislative text of the relief bill, and S. 3599 was left off the proposal. This is a huge victory for the American medical workers who have to compete against unnecessary foreign worker competition!
Thanks to all the NumbersUSA activists who made phone calls yesterday and/or this morning!

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, meanwhile, has said U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents in northern Mexico are fleeing overrun hospitals south of the border and heading north for care in the U.S. That is contributing to higher numbers in border states.

As COVID-19 cases surge across the border, new questions are being asked about the nexus of immigration and the spread of the coronavirus.

Pelosi BlinksHouse Democrats pull Homeland Security spending bill over immigration issue, showing even our blue-state efforts can make a difference.
Dear James,
AF671172-28CA-427F-8654-65ADE39F35A8.png
Good news! House Democrats have pulled funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a spending bill. This is good news because Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee planned to use Homeland Security funding to impose extremist immigration provisions.
Reportedly, Democrats from vulnerable districts didn't want to have to defend the extremist, immigration-related provisions contained in the bill.
I list those provisions below, so you can see just how extreme they are. These vulnerable Democrats from more moderate districts balked because they knew we would be hammering them if they went ahead! Without our pressure, they would have nothing to worry about.
We need to keep the pressure on all our elected officials in Washington.
To do that, we need your support. Please give.
James, I've read so many letters from people wondering whether it really does any good to send letters and phone calls to people like Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "We're obviously not going to change her mind," they say. Well, she's probably not going to suddenly turn into Barbara Jordan, the late Democratic congresswoman whose commission on immigration inspired the creation of NumbersUSA. But this week, we saw that even she just might temper the radicalism of some of her more extreme colleagues.
Here are some of the worst provisions of the bill that was pulled from consideration:
1)Would have limited ICE detention beds to 10,000, compared to a recent high of 55,000.
2)
Would have prohibited detention of families, all but guaranteeing their release and encouraging future surges of family units at the border.
3)
Would have prohibited the removal of aliens who have been given TemporaryProtected Status but have since lost it.
4)
Would have exposed more blue-collar jobs to foreign worker competitionand called for an increase in temporary work visas, despite the tens of millions of Americans looking for work.
5)
Would have drastically cut funding for immigration enforcement, and prohibited reallocation of funding.
In essence, the bill would have made it take far longer to remove illegal aliens, but at the same time, it would gravely restrict holding them. In short, the bill would have required something close to open borders.
Politico, the Capitol Hill newspaper, quoted a congressional staffer explaining why the bill was pulled:
"Front-line members raised serious concerns that the Homeland bill was a tough vote in swing districts because of its progressive provisions. At the end of the day, front-liners are our majority makers and there is no reason to force them to take a tough vote."
The newspaper also quoted the chair of Homeland Security appropriations committee Lucille Roybard-Allard,
"This is probably the most progressive Homeland Security bill that has ever been presented to the House... It literally has everything in it that the advocates, the members have told me over the years had to be in the bill."
I have to hand it to the staffer who described members concerned about such immigration extremism as "front-line." This isn't about how progressive or moderate a politician is. Most often, the issue is whether politicians in Washington care more about special interest groups and corporate lobbyists or their own constituents.
Voters want Washington to put aside the extremism and get America back to work!!!
NumbersUSA has always been committed to the American worker. Because we rely so heavily on donations from our activists, when joblessness affects them, it affects our fundraising, too. We recently polled our members and found that 40% of our donors had lost jobs within their family. That's caused a huge gape in our fundraising.
The good news is that we've always followed best practices, financially. We've earned top ratings from the Better Business Bureau, America's Best Charities, Charity Navigator and Guidestar for, among other best practices, efficiently and securely using the donations our members have entrusted to us. So we've been able to keep fighting.
The bad news is that our shortfalls can't last forever. We need our members who can afford to do so to step up and make sure we can continue to do everything possible to get twenty million people working again and re-establish our nation's self-determination!
Please donate today!
You can donate three ways:
1) Give via our web page, using your credit card or ******.
2) Check -- see the instructions and a form to print out and send with your check.

Candidate can't explain how mass immigration is compatible with his stated concern for the environment

A recent study published in the New York Times Magazine has posed that the changing global climate has created "climate refugees," which is a point Phil Cafaro disputes in his blog. Cafaro notably says, "Very little global immigration is currently driven by climate change, and it isn't clear that this will change much in the future."
With this study in mind, the NewBostonPost reports that Representative Joe Kennedy III was recently asked about "how reported rising global temperatures have damaged economies of countries in Latin America and created climate migrants who come to the United States - legally and illegally - and emit more carbon into the atmosphere, exacerbating the problem for their native countries." This was posed to Kennedy, who "has a career F rating from the immigration-restrictionist NumbersUSA" at a recent campaign stop. It was "about how to break this cycle and curb mass migration."
Kennedy acknowledged and accepted the question, yet he said that climate change is "a global issue" and that "we need to have cooperation in the economic revolution that's needed to transition off carbon emission." He placed further blame on foreign policy that has left these countries destabilized and said that "money from drugs fuels what's a corrupt system." He does not mention current immigration legislation as part of the problem despite it being the reason for 88% of our country's population growth, according to Pew Research. Further, as the article states, we know that these numbers matter:
The average American emits 14.6 tons of carbon into the atmosphere, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. That is significantly higher than the average in Mexico (3.6 tons) and Central American countries, where the average is all below 1.6 tons per year. That's because people in the United States have more access to carbon-emitting items like automobiles and air conditioning.

The average immigrant -- legal and illegal -- emits four times more carbon into the atmosphere while in the United States than that person would in his native country, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. That number is likely even higher for people coming from many Latin American countries, where carbon emissions are lower because the economy is less developed than in some other countries of origin.

Politicians are rarely challenged to explain how they can claim to be concerned about "climate refugees" while blaming the United States for making the climate worse, yet they support immigration policies that guarantee U.S. emissions will remain among the highest in the world.
