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? AMERICAN JEWS - ALL AMERICANS - MUST KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND JOIN THE DEBATE.
