WASHINGTON – The National Retail Federation was one of more than 180 organizations that called on Congress and President-elect Joe Biden today to reform the nation’s immigration system. Among other steps, the groups said participants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program should be allowed to remain in the country.

“America’s retailers support practical, comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the needs of both employers and law-abiding immigrants in today’s 21st century economy,” NRF Senior Vice President for Government Relations David French said. “The current immigration system is broken and in need of bipartisan reform. Whether it’s Dreamers who came here as children or highly skilled workers, immigrants have always played a key role in our nation’s success and we welcome the contributions they make to our communities and economy.”

NRF was among entities and individuals representing the business community, faith-based groups, law enforcement, education, advocacy and civic organizations that signed a statement calling on Congress and Biden to address immigration laws that are “decades overdue for an overhaul.” Biden is expected to announce a sweeping immigration plan on Wednesday, his first day in office.

Asking democrats to enact meaningful immigration reform is like asking the COVID virus to not kill people.  Come to think of it, asking the COVID virus to not kill people might be more realistic.
