Bipartisan Lawmakers Support Urgent Immigration Reform During ‘Secure America’s Workforce’ D.C. Fly-In March 25-27, 2025

Hundreds of business leaders, industry associations and employers descended on Capitol Hill this week to call for commonsense immigration solutions that Secure America’s border and secure America’s workforce: We can do both!  

With border encounters down 94% from one year ago, President Trump delivered on his promise to secure the border. Now he and Congress can address the second half: securing America’s workforce to bring down inflation for everyday Americans. We’re calling for:
1) Access to talent for employers to grow and remain competitive 2) Work permits and Green Cards for spouses of U.S. citizens and essential workers to continue to contribute to the greatest economy in the world 3) Citizenship for Dreamers.

A massive and heartfelt thank you to all the employers and key constituents who traveled from all over the country, generously sharing their energy, expertise and perspectives. A massive thank you to our co-sponsors Comité de 100, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Latino Donor Collaborative, Critical Labor Coalition, and more. We truly couldn’t do this without you, and it’s your voices and stories that matter most to lawmakers.
