Secure America’s Workforce brings business leaders together to support bipartisan immigration solutions that secure both our border and workforce.
President Trump and Congress have a historic opportunity to fix the broken system and address the 1.7 million worker shortage.
We’re working with leaders on both sides of the aisle to:
Secure the Border
Through lawful, orderly, and efficient channels
Stabilize Our Workforce
By providing a practical path for long-term immigrant workers
Address Labor Gaps
By expanding legal avenues for immigrants with essential skills to help U.S. businesses
Support American Families
By lowering costs, protecting jobs, and strengthening industries at the foundation of our economy
“Our Dreamers, our farm workers, and our essential workers—many who have been here for decades—should be able to work, pay taxes, and legally come out of the shadows.”
Rebecca Shi, ABIC CEO
“We have [immigration] laws that have not been updated or reformed since before the internet existed. It is time to do so to safeguard our economic security.”
Bob Worsley
Co-Chairman of the American Business Immigration Coalition and former Arizona Republican State Senator
“This is the moment to fix the immigration system that has been broken for the last 40 years.”
U.S. Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL)
“People need to look beyond their silos and find common ground.”
U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY)
“We depend on immigrant workers to make sure that everyone has food on the table.”
U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA)
“It’s a very good sign that the administration realizes that running in parallel with their deportation of criminals…there has to be an effort to figure out how to make sure that we have the workforce we need.”
U.S. Representative Andy Harris (R-MD), Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus
“We appreciate that the administration understands the importance of the labor force but we need action. 72% of the thoroughbred industry are immigrants and we cannot operate without them.”
Dale Romans, President of the Kentucky Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association
“Our border is secure and unauthorized entries are down; now it’s time to focus on securing our industries and ensuring the stability of the workforce.”
Monica Villalobos, CEO, Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
Immigrants are essential to keeping America running, including:
Securing America’s Workforce Means…
Hospitality
Without immigrants, the hospitality industry would struggle to meet demand, hurting local economies and tourism.
Immigrants make up 21% of the hospitality workforce, helping restaurants and hotels thrive, support local economies, and fuel the dining and tourism industries.
Construction
Without immigrants, construction delays would rise and costs would climb—slowing housing and infrastructure development.
Immigrants comprise 28.6% of construction workers, essential to meeting demand and completing projects on time—building the homes and communities families and businesses rely on.
Healthcare
Without immigrants, our healthcare system would face severe staffing shortages, compromising care for millions.
Immigrants represent 18.2% of all healthcare workers, including 26.5% of physicians and surgeons, 16% of registered nurses, 23.1% of healthcare support staff, and nearly 36.5% of home health aides—ensuring quality care for families across generations.
Agriculture
Without immigrants, food prices would rise and supply chains would falter, putting our food security at risk.
Immigrants make up 40% of the agricultural workforce and over 70% of the dairy industry, keeping food affordable, shelves stocked, and America fed.
Manufacturing and STEM
Without immigrants, America would lose critical talent needed to drive innovation and remain globally competitive.
With 90% of DACA recipients employed across key sectors—including healthcare, construction, and tech—they contribute $5.7 billion in taxes annually, powering innovation and keeping America competitive.
