Business leaders urge Congress to advance the bipartisan Dignity Act, American Dream and Promise Act, American Families United Act, and Farm Workforce Modernization Act
Washington, DC – Today, the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) issued a powerful call to Congress and the Administration, urging immediate bipartisan legislative action to address the challenges exacerbated by current immigration enforcement policies. Representing a coalition of over 1,700 CEOs, business owners, and trade associations nationwide, ABIC emphasizes the critical need to advance sensible, bipartisan solutions that secure America’s workforce and uphold its values.
ABIC Board of Directors Chairman, ZenniHomes CEO and Arizona Republican State Senator (ret.) Bob Worsley:
“The current immigration fight is tearing our nation apart and hurting our economy. Solutions are possible, as is seen with the President’s success asserting control over our borders. Now is the time to focus enforcement on “the worst of the worst” in accountable and responsible ways. Now is the time to create work permits for the long term undocumented who contribute to our economy and on citizenship for the Dreamers who were brought here as children. At a moment like this to do anything other than work for reasonable solutions that can move our nation forward is both unpatriotic and immoral.”
ABIC CEO Rebecca Shi:
“The American people, through their votes in both 2024 and 2025, have repeatedly demanded common-sense immigration solutions, transcending partisan lines. It is within the power of our elected leaders to honor that mandate. We must immediately advance bipartisan legislation awaiting passage in Congress: the Dignity Act which provides undocumented workers a legal way to stay in American and continue contributing to our economy and communities; the American Dream and Promise Act to provide legal status for Dreamers; the American Families United Act to halt the inhumane separation of families; and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act to provide legal status to farmworkers who secure our critical food supply.
Immigrants are essential to the vitality of our communities, the growth of our businesses, and the ongoing success of America. Solutions are within our reach. They require the courage to compromise and the courage to act. This is a defining moment, and history will judge our capacity to unite for a more secure, just, and prosperous America.”
