Major Numbers in All Categories top

Rejected immigration ceiling in 1990

Rep Annunzio voted AGAINST the Smith amendment to H.R.4300 that would have maintained hard caps on most categories of immigration. Unlike, Rep. Annunzio, 143 Representatives (of 435) feared that the 1990 legislation would unleash a chain reaction that would drive immigration numbers ever upwards. They backed an amendment that would have placed an absolute annual ceiling of 630,000 on family, worker and lottery immigration. But Rep. Annunzio helped defeat that ceiling 266 to 143.

Voted for huge increase in 1990

Rep. Annunzio helped pass H.R.4300 that increased the numbers in all categories of immigration. America?s immigration tradition had been around 250,000 immigrants a year until the 1980s when numbers rose dramatically to more than 500,000 a year. After Rep. Annunzio voted three times in 1990 in favor of raising limits, immigration has now snowballed to around 1,000,000 (one million) a year, contributing the majority of U.S. population and labor growth, congestion and sprawl.See detailed description.
