A growing chorus of political and labor leaders, including the AFL- CIO, is calling for the U.S. government to grant a new amnesty to immigrants living here, and to eliminate most sanctions on employers who hire undocumented workers in the future.
Business wants to be able to hire and retain the best-skilled workers they can.
Guiterrez promised to work on pushing new legislation through Congress that brings back amnesty for undocumented immigrants. At that time, about three million immigrants were granted amnesty. Our country is not simply driven by the people who write programs for computers in the Silicon Valley. It is also driven by people who pick crops in the Central Valley of California. A tidal wave that lifts all Americans.
