Hundreds of top business groups and republican donors recently called
for an action on immigration legislation. Two letters were released by
these groups. One letter was signed by more than 400 businesses and
chambers of commerce. The second email included signatures by a number
of top donors, including former Vice President Dan Quayle and Karl Rove.
These letters focused on the economic ramifications of immigration
reform. While specific policies were not described, the letters did
state that failure to act was not an option. The letters called for
reform and a path to legal status, but did not specifically state a path
to citizenship for undocumented aliens.
