National Restaurant Association Pledges Continued Support for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Welcomes Input of Senate Democratic Leaders
The National Restaurant Association today pledged its continued support to work for a comprehensive immigration reform solution. The Association also welcomed the perspective of several key Senate Democratic leaders, shared yesterday in a 26-page policy outline, and urged for continued work on a bipartisan solution.
“As the news makes clearer every day, it is critical that Congress develop a comprehensive immigration reform solution,” said Scott DeFife, the Association’s Executive Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs. “Addressing our broken immigration system is important for many reasons, but it an economic necessity for our industry. Our nation's 945,000 restaurant locations and their millions of employees have much at stake in this effort, and the ramifications of failure to find a solution on this vital issue will be severe.”
