Business groups, faith leaders team up to push Congress to pass bipartisan immigration reforms

A diverse group of faith leaders, job creators and activists launched a new coalition this week to push President Biden and Congress to pass immigration reforms they say are common-sense solutions and are long overdue. 

"​​At no other point in recent history has the need for immigration reform been greater than it is today. Simply put, the system is broken," the members wrote in their letter to Congress. "Millions of workers, many of whom were indispensable to the nation’s COVID-19 response, are living in legal jeopardy. Apprehensions at the southern border are at historic highs. And employers are struggling to find workers to fill jobs in many industries."
