TAB Statement on Supreme Court Immigration Decision

 

 

AUSTIN, TX— The following statement may be attributed to Bill Hammond, CEO, Texas Association of Business:

 

“In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down President Obama’s proposal to deal with undocumented workers and their families, the Texas Association of Business, once again, calls on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

 

“A key piece of that reform must include a provision to give legal status to those undocumented workers who are living and working in our country.  They should be given the opportunity to attain legal status through some process while they are working and paying taxes.  It is unfair to them and the employers of this country to have so many badly needed workers in legal limbo.

 

“Once again, we call on Congress to pass this much-needed reform.”
