Chamber of Commerce Launches Campaign to Import Wave of Foreign Workers to Take American Jobs
John Binder 1 Jun 2021
The United States Chamber of Commerce has launched a lobbying campaign to massively increase legal immigration to the U.S., specifically the flow of foreign visa workers into American jobs.
Dubbed the “America Works Agenda,” the Chamber is lobbying state and federal lawmakers to hugely expand the rate of legal immigration whereby, already, about 1.2 million legal immigrants are awarded green cards annually and roughly 1.4 million foreign nationals are given visas to take jobs in the U.S.
As part of the campaign, the Chamber is asking lawmakers to:
At least double employment-based green cards to 280,000 admissions a year
Eliminate per-country caps, allowing India and China to monopolize employment-based green card categories
Double the annual number of H-1B visas awarded to foreign workers
Double the annual number of H-2B visas awarded to foreign workers
Expand the H-2A visa program to allow non-seasonal agricultural businesses to import foreign workers
Allow foreign students to more easily secure employment-based green cards after graduation
Provide amnesty to illegal aliens enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program
Provide amnesty to foreign nationals enrolled in Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
Allow local politicians to import foreign workers to take American jobs in their local economy and to drive up population growth
