Talking Points

  • We need Congress to address the crisis at the border and the workforce shortage crisis that is driving inflation and limiting economic growth. 
  • Border: The border apprehension data illustrates a state of chaos at our border, and these historically high levels of unauthorized entries into the U.S. will not go away on their own. Congress and the Biden Administration must work together to solve this problem.    
  • Workforce Crisis: American employers of all sizes and across a host of industries are facing chronic workforce shortages that significantly limit the ability of their businesses to grow. The vast shortcomings of our legal immigration system are a key contributing factor as to why companies are struggling to hire and retain the talent they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.   
  • We cannot get to the end of the year – yet another year – without creating law that addresses securing the border and authorizing more legal immigration that will help worker shortage, which is key inflationary force.  
  • Inaction is not an option. The time is now.
