Progress Illinois: Durbin, Foster Discuss Immigration Reform's Economic Impact
Comprehensive immigration reform is an important factor in America’s job creation and economic growth, according to U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and U.S. Rep. Bill Foster (D, IL-11).
Durbin and Foster sat on a panel hosted by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Friday to discuss the importance of immigration reform for the U.S. economy and workforce. Representatives from the chamber urged the nearly 75 attendees to join the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition (IBIC), a group of businesses and business associations that promotes “the integration of immigrant into our economy as consumers, workers, entrepreneurs and citizens.”
