Mass Immigration:
Good For America?
Good For Jews?
What Should The Next President
And Congress Do About Immigration?
Dr. Stephen Steinlight is available to address your group about these urgent questions*. He is Senior Policy
Analyst at the Center for Immigration Studies and former Director of National Affairs and Senior Fellow at the
American Jewish Committee.
The current state of immigration in America:
• Both Presidential candidates are "ignoring immigration or lying about it to voters" (New York Times lead
editorial 9/19/08)
• The ICE raid on the largest kosher meat processor in the U.S. is a wake-up call to the Jewish community
• America's borders are porous and our national security and sovereignty are threatened
• Some 12 million illegal immigrants of unknown identities, whereabouts and intentions reside in the
United States
• The last seven years have witnessed the highest immigration in U.S. history, and more than half are
illegal aliens
• The U.S. population will grow by 167 million by 2060**, a number equal to the combined current
populations of Great Britain, France and Spain. Increased immigration accounts for 82% of the total
• Most Americans believe fixing our broken immigration system is one of the most urgent tasks facing our
government
• The Executive Branch and Congress have abdicated responsibility for immigration policy
Among the questions Dr. Steinlight will address are:
• What immigration policy is best for American national security?
• What immigration policy is best for American social cohesion?
• What immigration policy best reflects American and Jewish values?
• How does immigration affect the nation's demography, economic and social justice issues?
• How does immigration affect the environment, global warming and our quality of life?
• What U.S. immigration policy is best for Israel's security and pursuit of peace?
• What are the positions Obama, McCain and Congress have taken on immigration issues?
