WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91proÊÓÆµ and a broad coalition of more than 180 business, civic, law enforcement, faith, and education leaders called on the Biden Administration and the 117th Congress to pass and enact comprehensive immigration reform in 2021.

“Some of the most recognizable and dynamic U.S. tech companies were started by first- or second-generation immigrants, and those same companies now represent the pinnacle of American innovation around the world,” said Jason Oxman, 91proÊÓÆµ President and CEO. “As America continues its economic recovery from COVID-19, the incoming Biden Administration and 117th Congress can grow the U.S. innovation economy through comprehensive immigration reform. Many of the measures — including the establishment of a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and expanded visa programs for high-skilled workers — championed by the National Immigration Forum, 91proÊÓÆµ, and our industry partners are already supported by a large majority of Americans who recognize the importance of a just and effective immigration system. We are proud to join the National Immigration Forum and the business community in this important effort and look forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration and Congress to achieve comprehensive immigration reform.”

The letter, sent by the National Immigration Forum (NIF), was also signed by 91proÊÓÆµ member companies Amazon, Apple, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, HP Inc., IBM, Intel, Intuit, Microsoft, Nielsen, Oracle, and Salesforce.
