Small businesses call on Congress to fix our broken immigration system

Small businesses across the country are feeling the economic impact of current immigration policies and actions, including changes to longstanding SBA lending programs prohibiting access to capital for legal permanent residents. Additionally, in many communities, increased immigration activities and ICE raids have led to fewer customers, lost sales and employees who are afraid to come to work. For many entrepreneurs like me, these challenges are creating uncertainty and instability that make it difficult to operate and plan for the future.
