The Essential Worker Immigration Coalition (EWIC) is a coalition of business groups with the principal goal of bringing about comprehensive immigration reform. Our current immigration system is broken and a legislative solution is needed that:

  • Addresses both the economic needs for future workers and undocumented workers already in the United States.
  • Strengthens national security by providing for the screening of foreign workers and creating a disincentive for illegal immigration.
  • Strengthens the rule of law by establishing clear, sensible immigration laws that are effectively and vigorously enforced.
  • Creates an immigration system that functions efficiently for employers, workers, and government agencies.
  • Ensures that U.S. workers are not displaced by foreign workers.
  • Ensures that all workers enjoy the same labor law protections.
