Comprehensive Immigration Reform Will Benefit American Workers

This issue brief, "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Will Benefit American Workers," reviews the current state of the U.S. immigration system and explains how a "broken" system undermines immigrants' employment rights and subsequently harms American workers. Specifically, it looks at immigration enforcement in the workplace, how the system hurts immigrants' employment protections and how immigrants' lack of employment protections hurts all American workers. The brief then highlights how immigration reform, which legalizes the undocumented population and fixes our immigration system, would strengthen immigrants' employment rights and in turn provide Americans with safer workplaces with reference to S. 744, the Senate-approves immigration bill.
