Friends –

Virtually no one in Washington expects Congress to act on CIR ASAP, the comprehensive immigration reform bill introduced last month by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Its goal from the start was to jumpstart a conversation – the bill likely to move is the bipartisan measure being crafted by Sens. Charles Schumer and Lindsey Graham.

Still, CIR ASAP will hang over the 2010 immigration debate, and its provisions – both good and bad – are sure to reappear again and again.

A politicized commission to set visa limits, increased employer liability for subcontractors, new fees and fines, new burdens for businesses that depend on the H2B visa program – yet no new program to provide the U.S. economy with the workers it needs for economic recovery.

CLICK HERE for IW’s analysis of the provisions most important to employers – most of them things we’ll need to fight to keep out of any bill that does move.

Hungry as employers are for immigration reform, it has to be reform that works for U.S. businesses and the U.S. economy. And we need to be communicating with Congress, making clear what kind of change will and will not work.

All best, Tamar
