IN A YEAR WHEN 50% OF CONGRESS EARNED AN 'IMMIGRATION-REDUCTION GRADE' OF 'F', HERE ARE THE STARS WHO DID THE OPPOSITE.
That's right, almost exactly 50% of the Members of Congress earned an F-grade for immigration actions taken during 2021!
And all but three of those earned scores of ZERO PERCENT!
Not hard to see why this Congress seemed like such a threat to American workers and communities, is it?
American voters filled half the seats in this Congress with politicians whose every immigration action in 2021 was to maintain or increase the high number of legal and illegal immigrants and foreign workers, and to use foreign citizens to force higher population growth, congestion and sprawl in U.S. communities.

You can also easily find grades for your own Senators and Representative by clicking here and then clicking on your state on the map.
As you know, NumbersUSA since 1996 has provided the nation's premier rating system and archival record for all congressional actions that could have an impact on the numerical level of immigration. No grading system is perfect, but you won't find a better one for quickly judging where a politician stands on immigration issues.
(Our grading system does not consider any aspect of office holders' character or actions other than what they do on immigration.)

56 A+ U.S. Representatives
In earning a grade of A+ by voting against immigration increases and by cosponsoring bills to reduce legal and illegal immigration, these 56 Representatives are true champions of the American worker. Their actions protect U.S. workers by reducing foreign competition and by tightening labor markets, something that applies pressure for better wages, benefits and working conditions.
In my new book, BACK OF THE HIRING LINE, I also show how politicians such as the following are the true champions of closing the economic inequality of so many African Americans who are the descendants of slaves. Mass immigration has always been one of the strongest tools of systemic anti-Black racism. These Representatives have forthrightly acted throughout 2021 to combat anti-Black racism by attempting to reduce mass immigration.

To all of you who are constituents of these 2021 stars of immigration reduction, THANK YOU for helping them understand the will of the people.
For the rest of you, please make 2022 a year in which your Members of Congress will move toward the example set by office holders listed in this email. For some of you, pushing your officials to A+ behavior is an impossible dream. But every Member of Congress can be at least a little better this year. Frankly, immigration policy would be much improved even if every F-grade politician delivered D-grade behavior this year.
You will soon see messages on your Action Board that you can send to your Senators and Representatives about their 2021 Immigration-Reduction Grades.
Happy New Year to you,
