USBC seeks to educate and mobilize the public through national polling, petition drives and letter-writing campaigns. We assist Congressmen by helping them find cosponsors and supporters for their immigration legislation, and by furnishing research and statistical analysis of border and immigration issues.
While we maintain a strong presence on Capitol Hill and on the Internet, our primary means of effecting change in public policy is by “grass-roots” lobbying. The term grass-roots means “pertaining to the common people,” as contrasted from the Washington elite. This is fundamental to our philosophy.
Frankly, we believe that the so-called “common people” are the true possessors of the most commonsense, and the elite in Washington would do well to listen to what those people have to say about immigration and related issues.
We analyze the immigration votes of every Representative and Senator to provide the public with this information. This information allows voters to hold their Representatives accountable and more responsive to the needs of their constituents.
