Spurred by Trump's announcement in September that he planned to end the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals program, members of the chamber wrote a letter to the Florida congressional delegation urging them to «quickly find a legislative solution before the program expires»... «Without a legislative solution, 800,000 DACA recipients will lose their ability to work and legally study, and it will leave many Florida employers, workers and students without certainty,» the chamber's CEO Mark Wilson wrote in the letter... «The Florida Chamber supports an earned pathway to citizenship for immigrants that pass criminal
background checks as well as supports policies that
reduce illegal immigration and improve on border security.»
This report comes after the March 2011 announcement that the Commissioner intended to look into the practice of employment - related record checks because of the disturbing trend that more and more employers require employee
background checks to
reduce the risk of liability for subsequent
actions of employees.
