**Immigration, Workforce Solutions Are Priorities - and They're
Related** 

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - In his State of the Union remarks this
evening, President Biden highlighted the need for border and immigration
solutions. The following is a statement from 

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**:

"We're encouraged that the president addressed border challenges and
the need for immigration reforms. Resources for the border and solutions
for Dreamers, people with Temporary Protected Status and farmworkers are
priorities for the president and Congress to address this year.

"The question is what happens next. Congress clearly needs to act on
policies that bring order and compassion to the border, solutions for
Dreamers, and a secure process that helps our Afghan allies who remain
in limbo. The president should help bring Republicans and Democrats
together for these crucial conversations.

"Job growth and immigration reforms are directly related. The president
and Congress should seize the opportunity to address both. More legal
channels for immigrants will help counter inflation, address labor
shortages and fill essential roles, from farmworkers to tech workers."

Murray and other Forum policy experts are available for interview.
