Council Urges Immediate Action on Comprehensive Federal Immigration Reform

The Bay Area Council today (June 20) issued the following statement on the urgent need for enacting comprehensive immigration reform and ending the practice of separating children from parents.

“The Bay Area Council joins with the growing number of business organizations, companies and other leaders across the country in urging the Trump Administration and Congress immediately to enact long overdue immigration reform and to end the “zero tolerance” policy that is causing the inhumane, painful and unnecessary separation of children from their parents along our borders. We need clear, comprehensive and fair immigration laws and policies that recognize the importance of immigrants to our country, our communities and our economy. These reforms should permanently address the fate of so-called Dreamers, and we strongly advocate for an expansion of visas for foreign workers and others who play a vital role in addressing employment needs and contributing to our economy.”
