The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce said it led representatives of its "Business for Skilled Worker Immigration" national coalition on a daylong trip to Washington, D.C., yesterday to lobby for three key immigration reforms.
The reforms include expansion of H-1B skilled worker visas, creation of entrepreneur visas and increased availability of green cards for STEM graduates, all of which are designed to help improve employer access to top international talent and strengthen the Massachusetts economy, officials said.
The delegation, which also included representatives from the Philadelphia; Austin, Texas; Durham, N.C.; and Naperville, Ill., chambers, met with 12 members of Congress and congressional staff members to urge adoption of skilled worker immigration reforms as part of immigration legislation currently under consideration by Congress.
"We found a lot of support for immigration reform broadly, and strong support for skilled worker reforms among the congressional representatives we met with," said Jim Klocke, executive vice president of the Greater Boston Chamber, who led the delegation. "But there is a lot of work that needs to be done to get immigration reform across the finish line. Our coalition will continue to mobilize support among House and Senate members in the weeks and months ahead."
Business for Skilled Worker Immigration is a coalition of 50 chambers of commerce from across the country.
