National Restaurant Association President and CEO Dawn Sweeney issued the following statement regarding President Obama’s executive action on immigration:
“The National Restaurant Association has long advocated for sensible immigration legislation at the federal level. The nation needs a solution, and the restaurant industry, representing the diversity of our great nation, home to generations of immigrant workers and their families, would like to see progress made on federal legislation.
“We are concerned that the President’s executive action on immigration will negatively impact Congress’ ability to accomplish real and lasting reform. Immigration reform is a highly charged issue that requires deliberate and constructive bipartisan dialogue. We have worked vigorously with both parties to move legislation forward to the benefit of our membership and our workforce. We hope that the debate over process will not derail progress on common sense immigration reform measures in the next Congress.”
