MIAMI, FL – A diverse group of elected officials, business leaders, Dreamers and Essential Workers will convene virtually February 25 at 10:00 a.m. for Florida Thriving: Bipartisan Immigration Solutions 2021 to discuss commonsense, bipartisan immigration solutions and how they can help us rebuild, recover and thrive.

Speakers will discuss how commonsense, bipartisan immigration solutions can help Florida rebuild, recover and thrive. They will address President Biden’s U.S. Citizenship Act 2021, as well as the DREAM Act, agriculture industry issues, Temporary Protected Status issues and Florida’s desperate need for essential workers across several industries.

“Americans are nowhere near as divided as the politicians would lead us to believe,” said Mike Fernandez. “Survey after survey shows us that most Americans understand that a healthy, legal immigration system is critical to public safety and the health of our economy.
“We must rise above the partisan rhetoric, from the extreme left and right, that has stifled previous efforts to find common ground and promote common sense, bipartisan immigration solutions. Together, we can chart a path forward that will allow our state and national economies to not only recover but to thrive.”
The event is co-hosted by: President’s Alliance for Higher Education, Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, Haitian American Chamber of Commerce, Miami-Dade County Office of New Americans, FWD US, and Florida Immigrant Coalition.
IMPAC Fund is the Florida chapter of the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) which promotes commonsense immigration reform that advances economic competitiveness, provides companies with both the high-skilled and low-skilled talent they need, and allows the integration of immigrants into our economy as consumers, workers, entrepreneurs, and citizens.
