Republican Business Leaders, Farmers, and Essential Workers Kick Off 7-FIGURE IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW! Campaign
Bipartisan members of ABIC to escalate push for immigration fixes to be included in budget reconciliation bill set for votes next month
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The bipartisan American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) and immigration reform advocates seeking congressional approval of pathways to citizenship for Dreamers, farmworkers, TPS holders, and essential workers will announce a 7-Figure coast to coast campaign during a news conference on Friday.
The press call will be held as momentum grows for enactment of immigration solutions following Senate approval of the budget resolution that contains the provisions sought by business leaders, farmers, and immigrants rights advocates to bring stability to the lives of immigrants seeking legal status and to the businesses that employ them. The House is expected to vote later this month on the budget resolution. Then, votes will be held in September in both chambers on the budget reconciliation bill that would allow the citizenship programs to go forward.
Earlier this week, Republican business and political leaders sent a letter to President Biden and congressional leaders urging fast action on the citizenship provisions, even if the only available legislative vehicle is the budget reconciliation bill, controlled in the Senate by the majority party.
