Thread: Endorsements from PAC's Support Immigration Reduction

ENDORSEMENTS BY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES
THAT SUPPORT IMMIGRATION-REDUCTION CANDIDATES

On the eve of national elections for every Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and a third of the Senate, many people are asking me about endorsements.

As you may know, NumbersUSA does not endorse candidates and does not operate a political action committee (PAC) that provides campaign contributions to immigration-reduction candidates.

But there are three PACs out there that do just that. So, I want to remind you again of those PACs and provide you with links to take a final look at what they are doing at the end of the campaigns, as well as their endorsements.

All three PACs rely heavily on NumbersUSA's incomparable tracking system of every immigration action taken by every Member of Congress, as well as our Candidate Comparison surveys that assess the immigration position of every challenger this election.

Here are the PACs and their websites:

ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration PAC)

JIM EDWARDS IS NEW DIRECTOR
OF U.S. IMMIGRATION REFORM PAC

I would also like to take this opportunity to share some news about the U.S. Immigration Reform PAC, which has a new Director.

Jim Edwards has been a retained consultant to NumbersUSA's Capitol Hill Team since 2001. Jim's work with the PAC is totally separate from the legislative work for which he is paid by NumbersUSA. But it is good to have somebody at the PAC who is so familiar with the issues and with NumbersUSA's entire approach to immigration policy.

Jim is a national authority on immigration policy who served as Legislative Director to a member of the House Immigration Subcommittee and helped write parts of the landmark 1996 immigration law. He coauthored The Congressional Politics of Immigration Reform, which is the authoritative book on how immigration acts in the 1980s and 1990s were assembled and passed. And Jim's an able voice for the most economically just and morally defensible immigration policies. He's testified before Congress on several occasions, including on NumbersUSA's behalf.

I wanted to be sure to let you know of this latest news and to say that I'm very proud that Jim Edwards has agreed to serve as the new director of the U.S. Immigration Reform PAC.

Sincerely,

Roy Beck
