Immigration-Control Group Starts Ads in 10 States (NumbersUSA)
Immigration-Control Group Starts Ads in 10 States
WASHINGTON — Oct 15, 2014, 12:54 PM ET
By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press
An immigration-control group on Wednesday began running more than $1 million in ads that blame new immigrants for the economic struggles of longtime Americans.
NumbersUSA will run the 30-second ad in 10 states where there are competitive Senate races. The ads are not explicitly political but urge voters to examine whether senators or their challengers would be the strongest backers to limiting the number of immigrants who can come into the United States.
"Finally, the economy is starting to crank out new jobs. But who should get those jobs?" a female narrator says. She asks whether they should go to new immigrants, "Or should the jobs go to the millions of Americans and legal immigrants already here, still looking for work?"
NumbersUSA bills itself as a non-partisan grassroots group that wants to reduce the number of immigrants in order to help American workers. The group claims it has 2 million activists.
NumbersUSA operates under part of the tax code that allows it to keep secret its donors because it is technically focused on public education and social welfare. Nowhere in the ads does the group tell voters how to cast ballots, but only to investigate candidates' records.
The ads will air in states with competitive Senate races: Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire and North Carolina. Roughly 70 percent of the spending will be on broadcast ads, while the balance will be on Internet ads.

NumbersUSA Immigration Ad Campaign Asks Senators: Should Americans Get The Next U.S. Jobs?
Congress Continues to Add One Million New Immigrants a Year to Compete for Jobs While Millions of American Workers Remain Unemployed and Underemployed
umbersUSA Immigration Ad Campaign Asks Senators: Should Americans Get The Next U.S. Jobs?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --"Who should get the next jobs?" is the pointed theme of a seven-figure ad campaign launched today by NumbersUSA in markets across the country. The ad asks if Congress should continue adding one million new immigrants every year to compete for new jobs, or should the jobs go to the millions of American workers and legal immigrants already here who still can't find work?
The ads are scheduled to run for several weeks in Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire and North Carolina. The campaign is funded by NumbersUSA, which has a non-partisan grassroots network of more than 2 million citizens who seek a reduction in annual immigration numbers.
"We're urging every citizen to ask a very simple question of their Senators -- and of anybody who wants to be a Senator," said NumbersUSA President Roy Beck. "Who should get the next jobs? Do they think their constituents who are looking for work should have priority for jobs? Or are they committed to catering to special-interest groups and helping corporate lobbyists continue to flood the labor market with new foreign workers who, through no fault of their own, depress the wages and job prospects for workers already here?
"Polling shows that most Americans believe annual legal immigration should be reduced to improve the jobs and wages for American workers," Beck said. "But many in Congress don't agree."
The ad notes that federal data show that nearly all job growth since the year 2000 has gone to foreign-born workers. During that time, the number of Americans who have fallen completely out of the labor market has risen to historically high levels. The wages for most working-class Americans, when adjusted for inflation, are lower now than in 1979.
"Despite the dismal wage and employment reports on American workers, most Members of Congress continue to favor high immigration of workers at all skill levels," Beck said. "But polling shows the folks back home are far more interested in an immigration policy that protects America's wage-earners and their families."
Recent opinion research by The Polling Company/Woman Trend indicates Americans believe immigrants take jobs from Americans rather than create jobs and nearly 9 out of 10 believe U.S.-born workers and legal immigrants already here should get first preference for jobs.
Since 2007, special-interest groups have spent more than $1.5 billion on more than 3,000 lobbyists who have pushed passage of an immigration bill that would dramatically increase immigration. In mid-2013, the groups nearly succeeded when the US Senate passed S.744, a bill that would have doubled legal immigration over the next ten years. Many Senators who voted for S.744 have been distancing themselves from the bill recently. The bill has not been brought to the floor of the House of Representatives.
NumbersUSA.com tracks and grades every Member of Congress on actions that affect the numerical level of immigration. The website also compares the immigration positions of every candidate running for Congress.
