WASHINGTON _ These are heady days for Roy Beck and NumbersUSA.
In the past year, the hard-line immigration policies they've long championed have gained headlines and support. Numbers USA, which pushes for cuts in both legal and illegal immigration, reducing family-based visas and other restrictive measures, has gained exposure of its message from one of the brightest spots on the world stage.
"(T)o have a president that talks about immigration as much as this one does, it moves your issue much further to the front of the line," said Beck, who founded the group in 1997.
