Association supports GOP immigration effort
The Associated Builders and Contractors are applauding the efforts of U.S. House Republicans to overhaul the nation’s immigration standards.
House leadership Thursday introduced a set of principles that include beefed up border security, better immigration enforcement and a way for immigrants not in the country legally to stay in the U.S.
“We congratulate the House Republican conference for taking this important step toward fixing our broken immigration system in the United States,” said ABC Vice President of Government Affairs Geoff Burr. “As this push toward reform continues, we look forward to working with both the House and Senate on developing proposals that meet the needs of the construction industry.
“Our country and our industry need reforms that fix our broken system, enforce our laws and modernize our immigration structure to reflect the needs of our economy,” Burr said. “Today, I think we have moved one step closer in achieving our goal.”
