Chamber president wants 12 million illegals to stay

by: Penny Starr Thursday, January 12, 2012


Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the estimated 12 million aliens working illegally in the United States should somehow be made “official” by the government so they can continue to work, but not automatically “make them citizens.” ...

"We’re not saying make them citizens,” he said. “We’re saying make them official so there’s a way they can continue to work here while they wait in line to get the necessary documentation. But they need to have identification so we know who they are and what they do.

“I think this is a rational issue, but it is not very rational, particularly in a political season and it is a highly emotional issue,” said Donohue. “But fundamentally we built this country on immigrants and if we don’t have them to add to our own natural growth, we’re going to have a really, really tough time competing around the world.” Read the original article at CNS News
