The elephant big-footing GOP immigration policy
12:15 p.m. ET Sept. 6, 2018
The United States Chamber of Commerce, the nation’s largest, most-influential business lobby is the “immigration elephant†in congressional Republicans’ caucus rooms.
Claiming that America’s job market is too hot to lose them, Chamber lobbyists have been urging Congress to grant legal status to a million or more illegally-employed illegal immigrants.
More defensibly, perhaps, the Chamber also resists proposals to reduce future levels of legal immigration, characterizing reductions as “devastating to our economy,†even though tighter labor markets would force businesses to compete for American workers by raising wages and benefits. But the Chamber generally advocates easier, cheaper amnesty/legalization to address its members’ manpower requirements.
