a letter<\/a><\/u>\u00a0signed by nearly 200 businesses sent to President Trump on Tuesday, urging the President to take up immigration reform and prioritize commonsense immigration solutions to secure America\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n\u201cWith border crossings down nearly 100 percent from last year, President Trump has delivered on border security \u2014 now it\u2019s time to secure America\u2019s workforce. The Dignity Act mirrors what President Trump has said multiple times about work permits for long-term, law-abiding immigrants. This bill offers a real solution backing the President’s vision, and the American people \u2014 76 percent in recent polls \u2014 are on board. Let\u2019s get it done,\u201d\u00a0said Rebecca Shi, CEO of ABIC Action.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cI’m encouraged by Rep. Salazar’s reintroduction of the Dignity Act. It’s a meaningful bipartisan step towards addressing this crisis. We need real solutions and work permits that honor both our country’s economic needs and its values, solutions that protect our food system, stabilize our agricultural communities and offer dignity to the people who are already contributing so much,\u201d said\u00a0Janille Baker, Controller of Baker Ranches, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cImmigration policy affects every corner of our operation, and no one feels it more deeply than our residents and their families. These individuals are more than employees. They are the ones who show up to ride out every hurricane. They risk their lives working during COVID, when so many others stayed home, they show up every single holiday, often sacrificing time with their own families to care for someone else’s loved one. This bill would be a lifeline for so many workers in our industry,\u201d said\u00a0Rachel Blumberg, President and CEO of Sinai Residences.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cWe really need a workforce, especially in the construction industry. Immigrants are willing to take a risk for an opportunity to show the country that they want to be here,\u201d said\u00a0Victor Galvan, CEO of VMG NeXt Construction.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThe restaurant is the one that hurts the most from immigration issues, because the workforce to train these people, it’s very hard. As a business owner, you just want to throw the towel, but because of immigrants, we don’t. They have heart, they don’t give up on being part of that community, and they don’t give up,\u201d said\u00a0Michelle Santillanes, owner of El Tamarindo Restaurant in Denver, Colorado.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
