Business groups optimistic Congress may finally strike immigration deal

While the details of a Sinema-Tillis bill have yet to be finalized, the pair’s track record of being able to reach compromise on other issues sparked a wave of optimism among industry lobbyists, who see it as their last best hope to get a deal done on immigration in an increasingly narrow time frame.

There is still plenty of doubt on Capitol Hill about the prospects for a deal, especially before the end of the year. Tillis told NBC News on Wednesday that he’s still working on getting other lawmakers to agree on the framework, but said so far it has been “pretty warmly received.

“One of the biggest items that is pushing restaurants to closing is we don’t have enough workers to allow us to stay open and to serve customers to actually be able to pay our own bills and to keep our own doors open,” Kennedy said. “When you have businesses that can’t keep their doors open, because they don’t have enough workers, and yet you have workers who want to come here and work, it seems like you can figure out a pretty simple solution to that,” said Chip Rogers, head of the American Hotel and Lodging Association.

“You’ve got to start somewhere, but if you want to solve the problem, it’s going to have to look different than what we’re hearing now,” said Rogers. “You need more guest workers, there’s no question about that. Then on top of that, how does the U.S. address what appears to be a worker shortage that has been persistent and will be persistent for quite some time? Well, you have to allow more legal immigration.
