““Immigrants play an essential role in strengthening our workforce and contributing to our success. ABIC urges policymakers to prioritize common-sense, bipartisan solutions that secure our borders and fix our broken immigration system. We must provide a permanent legal status for our hardworking Dreamers, ensuring they can continue to the future of our nation.”

““Employers across the United States are in desperate need of a high-quality, reliable workforce, and the immigration programs are in desperate need of meaningful, bipartisan reform. America’s agriculture, construction, manufacturing and healthcare industries need stable predictable, and legal workforce to benefit all Americans”

““To preserve America's position as the global leader in innovation, the U.S. immigration system must be reformed to attract and retain top talent. This requires enacting policies that address the ongoing labor shortage while providing stability and clarity for businesses, workers, and their families. Such reforms will ensure that the U.S. remains competitive, prosperous, and capable of meeting the demands of the future.”
