Duration

36 months

Description

Between 2016 and 2020, the number of legal immigrants admitted to the United States declined by 40 percent. This was the result of policies that cut refugee admissions and made it more difficult for immigrants to receive family, employment, and diversity visas. Although many of these policies are being overturned, the challenges in immigrant and refugee admissions continue, affecting both sustainability of the labor force and economic growth across the country. Since 2003, the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) has produced original research, analysis, and opinion pieces to increase understanding and knowledge of the legal immigration system in the United States, while also highlighting the contributions of immigrants. With Corporation support, NFAP will continue to conduct and distribute nonpartisan research across media outlets.

Duration

24 months

Description

Recent changes to United States immigration policies are projected to result in a 30 percent decline in legal immigration, which would drastically impact the sustainability of the nation’s labor force, the resiliency of shrinking rural communities, and the country’s global competitiveness in numerous fields of business, research, and technological innovation. Since 2003, the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) has been generating high-quality nonpartisan research dedicated to immigration, international trade, and the U.S. economy. With Corporation support, NFAP will continue to produce and promote in mainstream media its research on the legal immigration system, the vital contributions immigrants are making to the country, and the positive fiscal impact of inclusive immigration policy reforms.

Project Title

For a project examining the United States legal immigration system

Date

Jun. 14, 2018

Duration

24 months

Description

Despite overwhelming evidence that immigrants contribute far more to the United States economy and society, writ large, than they cost in government expenditures, nativist forces both inside and outside of government have been working to dramatically reduce legal immigration. Efforts to reduce legal immigration pose a serious threat to the country’s economic health and its ability to compete in today’s globalized world. Not only do more than half of the billion-dollar startups in America have at least one immigrant founder, five out of six of the student finalists at the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search competition were the children of immigrants. Founded in 2003, the National Foundation for American Policy is a nonpartisan policy institute dedicated to immigration, the economy, and international trade. With Corporation support, the National Foundation for American Policy will produce quality research on the legal immigration system and the contributions immigrants have made to American society.

Duration

24 months

Description

Despite the stalemate in Congress, immigration remains a major focus of public debate, especially within the Republican and Democratic presidential primary campaigns. Although there is broad consensus on the need for reform, many questions must be answered before policymakers can agree on how the various components of immigration policy should be addressed. The National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), a nonpartisan research group from the libertarian side, conducts research and provides data to help answer these questions. With Corporation support, NFAP will examine a range of potential reforms, including those that address the undocumented population currently in the country, immigration and border enforcement policies, and the expansion of green card and visa programs to strengthen the American economy.
