AS-USA's Mission Statement and Platform

Mission Statement of Alliance for a Sustainable USA (AS-USA)

Most of us are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, and many immigrants are assets to this country. However, rapid population growth in the U.S., driven in large part by record high levels of immigration, is adversely impacting America's environment, workers, infrastructure, social coherence and the quality of life of residents of all racial backgrounds. Current rates of immigration also hurt minorities and earlier immigrants the most.

Despite our differences in racial, ethnic, religious and political backgrounds, supporters of Alliance for a Sustainable USA are committed to working together to educate residents on the consequences of population growth and the benefits of population stabilization.

AS-USA's Platform

AS-USA supports replacement-level fertility (an average of 2 children per family) and replacement-level immigration (no more than 200,000 immigrants per year, including refugees). This would lead to U.S. population stabilization.

AS-USA supports a race-blind, country-blind U.S. immigration policy. AS-USA also supports efforts to stabilize world population and improve living conditions world-wide.
