Immigration
America has grown and thrived because we attract and welcome the hardest working and most talented people to our shores. They come here to pursue their dreams and build their lives. However, today’s immigration system falls far short of meeting the needs of our society, our economy, our businesses, and our workers. The U.S. Chamber works for smart immigration policy reforms so the U.S. can boost economic growth, create jobs, and encourage innovation and entrepreneurship.
Fix Our Broken Immigration System
Congress needs to prioritize these issues and enact solutions that secure our borders and modernize our legal immigration system. History has shown us that the longer our elected officials wait to address these problems, they will only become tougher to solve.
Join us in encouraging Congress to secure our borders and fix our broken Immigration system.
