Washington, D.C. — TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation economy CEOs and senior executives, today praised the release of the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 and the Biden Administration for making comprehensive immigration reform a top priority. The following statement can be attributed to TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore:

“The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 is a refreshing and welcome change in approach to U.S. immigration. Throughout American history, immigrant innovators, entrepreneurs, and workers have been essential to our nation’s economic success. But for far too long, federal inaction on, and sometimes downright hostility toward, immigration has stifled innovation and stunted job growth.

“We stand ready, alongside other business, civic, law enforcement, faith, and education leaders, to work with the Biden Administration and Congress to quickly pass much needed bipartisan reform and fix our broken immigration system.”
