The Center for Immigration Studies will host a panel discussion today, Tuesday, May 19, on twenty actions the president could take immediately that could potentially reduce the number of temporary foreign workers by 1.2 million, or nearly 50 percent. The starting point for conversation will be a Center report, Hire American, which provides realistic solutions to helping the 18.2 million native-born Americans and 4.3 million immigrants now out of work, and the millions more who have stopped looking for work.
When: Tuesday, May 19 at 1 p.m. EDT
Stream: Scheduled streams will be live on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
Questions: Questions can be sent prior or during the event to [email protected] or on twitter to @CIS_org
Jessica Vaughan, the Center’s director of policy studies, said, “Suspending the entry of new temporary workers is a no-brainer in the midst of a pandemic and unprecedented economic collapse. It’s equally important to slash the number of discretionary work permits, because these create unfair competition for American workers and encourage visitors and illegal entrants to remain here when they would otherwise go home.” Vaughan continued, “In addition, taxpayers should not have to provide relief to employers who have chosen guest workers over U.S. workers.”
