ARLINGTON, Va., March 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, a group of Montana state lawmakers visited the U.S.-Mexico border with NumbersUSA , the nation's largest grassroots organization focused solely on immigration.

Given what they've seen, Montana lawmakers are eager to pursue policies that'd eliminate illegal immigration -- as soon as their 2025 legislative session begins.
"It's up to Montana to ensure Big Sky Country doesn't become the next hot spot for illegal migration."

"Since 1982, North Carolina has lost more total acreage to sprawl than any state except Texas and Florida," said Leon Kolankiewicz, an environmental planner and co-author of the report.
"And 76% of that loss has resulted from the state adding 4.25 million new residents, nearly doubling from the early 1980s."
North Carolina residents aren't happy about all the growth and sprawl, according to a February 2024 survey of likely voters commissioned by NumbersUSA, the chief repository of sprawl and population research since 2000.

"Contrary to business lobbyists' claims, E-Verify creates no significant burden on companies or their recent hires," said James Massa. "Employers simply upload information from the new employee's I-9 form, which the federal government already requires them to collect. The E-Verify system is highly accurate -- and clears more than 98% of hires to work either instantly or within 24 hours."

Key Points:

"E-Verify would prevent West Virginia from becoming the next destination spot for illegal immigrants," said James Massa, CEO of NumbersUSA.
"It would effectively shut off the jobs magnet that draws migrants to seek illegal employment in West Virginia."
HB 4759 , the immigration bill under review in West Virginia's Senate, would require companies with 15 or more employees to use E-Verify.
"West Virginians agree that Mountain State jobs should go to legal residents," said James Massa.
