METRO ATLANTA CHAMBER SUPPORTS IMMIGRATION REFORM

The board of the Metro Atlanta Chamber agreed today to certain immigration reforms, adopting a position similar to the U.S. Chamber and other business organizations. The Chamber says expanding the EB-5, J-1 and H-1B visa programs are critical to increased competitiveness.
The Metro Atlanta Chamber said employment, investment and student-based visas are of particular interest to it. It supports removing barriers to recruiting highly-skilled talent and expertise. The Metro Chamber's position states: "Strengthening visa policy to allow the world's best and brightest to work and invest in the U.S. is a path toward economic growth and expansion."

Great move by the chamber!
