If Comprehensive Immigration Reform is passed this year, the U.S. tax revenue would increase by $4.5-5.5 billion over the next three years.
Please don’t sit this one out.
Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is slated to introduce a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill for deliberation this month. This gives New Yorkers a unique opportunity to help shape the debate around Immigration Reform. It also offers us the unique opportunity to speak directly to power–letting them know we’ve got their back as they press for this practical and prophetic legislation. That means you can make a difference if you act now!
