Press Release: Statement on House Republican “Plan for America’s Job Creators”

In their “Plan for America’s Job Creators” House Republicans joined the Partnership’s mayors and CEOs from across the country in recognizing that smarter immigration reforms will create American jobs. The suggested examples – better visas for both entrepreneurs and graduates with essential degrees – are important parts of modernizing our immigration system that would create American jobs and have proven support from both President Obama and Republicans and Democrats in Congress. We urge Washington to come together this year on bipartisan measures that would ensure America has the workers, innovators and entrepreneurs we need to compete in the 21st century global economy.
