Immigration Reform: House Of Labor Marches With Immigrants

Continued from previous page

The hardest piece to figure out is future visas.  I think there’s a recognition we need workers in a variety of fields, I would argue at the top and bottom of the economy. The question is how do you make sure employers try to hire Americans first and that you have a flexible flow.

Josh Bernstein, who worked in immigration advocacy before joining SEIU as Director of Immigration, told the  Washington Times:

The vast majority of those in labor and the vast majority of those in business really desire to come up with a solution, a comprehensive solution, for immigration reform, because it’s good for the economy, and that’s good for all of us.

That sounds like two sides that can come up with a deal when and if they want really to.
