Fix the Nation’s Broken Immigration System

NLC calls on the federal government to adopt a strong and consistent national immigration policy that balances national security needs with renewed efforts to grow the nation’s workforce, stimulate economy recovery, and remain competitive in the 21st century global marketplace.

    America's immigration system is failing our cities and our economic future. Local governments are caught in the middle of the national debate with no control over the regulation of immigration but with the responsibility for integrating immigrants into our communities and providing the services necessary for stable neighborhoods. Municipal leaders join with civic and business leaders to highlight the economic necessity of comprehensive immigration reform.
