An influx of legal immigrants would alleviate the nationwide labor shortage currently plaguing companies and help to cool inflation, the head of the US Chamber of Commerce said.
Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark said the ongoing workforce shortage is a “crisis” that has contributed to supply chain disruptions and undermined business growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We must double the number of people legally immigrating to the US. And we must create a permanent solution for the ‘dreamers’ — those young men and women who know no other home and who contribute to their communities, but whose legal status is in limbo,” Clark said in a keynote address at the “State of American Business” event on Tuesday.
