Bipartisan immigration reform would ease inflation
June 16, 2022
On the 10th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ( DACA ) program, a group of GOP business leaders is urging Republican congressional leaders to grant “Dreamers” legal status to help ease inflation and the U.S. labor shortage. On Wednesday, a letter was sent to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, requesting that they reach a deal on immigration to provide permanent legal status to the immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The letter was sent by 14 donors who call themselves “life-long Republicans.” The donors wrote, “Improving border security and providing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers is not only morally right; it is also absolutely crucial to addressing labor shortages, reducing food prices, and creating jobs for all American families.”
