Immigration
Workforce availability is a major challenge for businesses. When we hear from businesses across America about expanding and investing in their communities, workforce is one of the biggest impediments they raise. Businesses simply can’t grow without the talent needed to do it. The president was right to focus on border security, which was a crucial first step, and we commend his leadership on this issue. Having made significant progress, now is the time to review our legal immigration system.
America's success has always relied on welcoming the most talented, hardworking people from around the world. This has been a significant driver in our nation's growth and prosperity.
Unfortunately, the current immigration system doesn't meet the needs of our economy, businesses, or workers. That’s why we’re advocating for reforms to legal immigration that will boost economic growth, create jobs, and foster innovation for all Americans. We urge Congress and the administration to implement commonsense reforms to help businesses meet their workforce needs.
