Some industry lobbyists see a Sinema-Tillis bill as their last best hope to get a deal done on immigration in an increasingly narrow time frame.

In the restaurant industry, there are more than 400,000 fewer workers than before the pandemic, and hotels are down 350,000 jobs from pre-pandemic levels, according to industry groups. That’s caused restaurants to reduce their hours and hotels to cut back on services or operate below full capacity, industry officials said.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in a speech earlier this week that Trump-era immigration restrictions had contributed to the labor shortage that is driving inflation. That, combined with pandemic-related deaths, had resulted in a shortage of 1 million to 1.5 million workers, Powell said. While businesses see any reforms to the immigration system as a positive, it is unclear whether the legislation would address their main concern of increasing the number of foreign-born workers who can come to the U.S. temporarily or long term.
