Ohio business leaders will push for place-based immigration in 2021
Madison Whalen
As Ohio s 134th General Assembly and the 117th Congress prepare to convene new legislative sessions in January, business leaders have joined forces to urge legislators to retool the country s immigration policy with an eye on filling population and workforce gaps.
Sensible immigration reforms, specifically place-based visas, are one of the priorities for the newly formed Ohio Business for Immigration Solutions (OBIS), a coalition of more than 20 Ohio businesses, trade associations, chambers of commerce and economic development groups.
Madison Whalen, the state organizer of OBIS, said the group plans to educate lawmakers on how reforming immigration could help the state s workforce and economy.
