ADVERTISEMENTS

ImmigrationWorks USA is a national organization advancing immigration reform that works for all Americans – employers, workers and citizens. Its twin goals: to educate the public about the benefits of immigration and build a mainstream grassroots constituency in favor of better law – business owners and others from across America willing to speak out and demand an overhaul. The organization links some 25 state-based business coalitions: employers and trade associations from Florida to Oregon and from every sector of the economy that relies on immigrant workers. The federation’s aim: to strengthen these groups, expand their membership and help them fight local immigration battles even as they build and train for a renewed debate in Congress.

 

The battle today is beyond the beltway - in state legislatures, courtrooms, congressional elections - where these local coalitions are ideally positioned to explain the need for immigrant workers and push back against policies that could damage the economy. But the ultimate goal, when immigration reform comes up again in Washington, is to have a grassroots army in place - the national business presence that was missing in the last congressional fight.
