Mayorkas To Address Bipartisan Immigration Summit

Dallas, TX — Alejandro Mayorkas, the former Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and President-Elect Joe Biden’s nominee to lead DHS, will speak about the path forward for immigration at the Reigniting the Economic Engine: Immigration Solutions for 2021 summit.

Mayorkas will offer remarks at 4:30p EST at the bipartisan immigration summit, which aims to kickstart negotiations in Congress for 21st-century immigration solutions. The summit features elected leaders from both parties, including Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), John Cornyn (R-TX), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Susan Collins (R-ME) and many more. They will join business leaders and immigrant advocates to discuss ways to embrace this opportunity to hit the ‘reset’ button by working across the aisle to move forward immigration reform that helps the economy recover from the Covid 19 pandemic, creates jobs and keeps families together.

The virtual event will take place on Thursday, December 3 at 11 a.m. EST and is organized by 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.
