Washington, DC – Immigration reform rallies are taking place across the United States. Already thousands have gathered from Texas to New Jersey to renew calls for immigration reform. Labor unions are drawing increased attention for their failure to allow immigration reform free of union organizing and wage scale qualifiers. Businesses are being held accountable to hire qualified American workers when less demanding immigrants may be available to fill the position.
Leaving behind the divisiveness of special interests, April 10th is a day to show support to fix the dysfunctional system of immigration America has allowed for too long. Millions of tax paying, hard working and entrepreneurial immigrant Americans have not been deterred to fulfill the American dream by papering over the problem. They demonstrated their commitment to this country by their determination, bravura and family building.
