WHY REFORM CAN'T WAIT!
Join the business grassroots campaign for an immigration overhaul
WHAT A one-day conference and strategic planning session for employers who rely on immigrant workers and grasp the urgent need for immigration reform. It’s looking less and less likely that Congress will take up immigration before the November midterm elections. But failure in 2010 only increases pressure for action in early 2011, and employers of immigrant workers need to be making their voices heard.
