Strengthening Legal Immigration

Legal immigration enriches America’s cultural fabric and plays a vital role in sustaining a strong, dynamic economy, but our current system for managing it is broken. This panel will explore ways to fix some of its most pressing issues, including strengthening legal immigration pathways to address workforce shortages, drive economic growth, and enhance national competitiveness. Panelists will discuss the biggest challenges facing the current system and propose solutions to ensure that legal immigration continues to support a vibrant society.
