ASAP! Immigration Moratorium Action Plan
Stabilize U.S. Population - Protect the Environment - Immigration
Moratorium
ASAP! Alliance for Stabilizing America's Population ASAP!'s four-step
ACTION PLAN was approved by a vote of signatories at the ASAP! Action
Conference held in Estes Park, Colorado in 1997. Since most of our
nation's environmental problems stem from immigration-driven population
growth (immigration accounts for nearly 90 percent of U.S. population
growth), ASAP! supports immediate cuts in immigration as the single,
most effective way to stabilize U.S. population and, thus, preserve
and protect our environment for future generations. We urge Congress
and President Bush to implement our action plan:
#1 Immigration Moratorium
- ASAP! supports an immediate enactment of a 5-year immigration
moratorium with an all-inclusive, firm cap of 100,000 immigrants
(including refugees and asylees) per year. ASAP signatories support
the Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2003 (HR 946) sponsored
by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), amended to include a non-pierceable
cap of 100,000 immigrants per year (including refugees and asylees).
#2 No More Amnesties
- ASAP! opposes additional amnesties granting legal status or
citizenship to illegal aliens. Amnesties reward illegal behavior
while unnecessarily adding to population growth, driving unending
chain migration, and encouraging illegal entry to the USA.
#3 Enforce Immigration Laws
- Existing laws requiring apprehension and deportation of all
illegal aliens in the USA must be enforced. Officials failing
to enforce our laws must be replaced.
#4 No Citizenship for Illegal Aliens' Offspring
- Offspring of illegal aliens should not be granted automatic
U.S. citizenship. Many argue convincingly that the 14th Amendment
does not guarantee citizenship to offspring of illegal aliens.
