Businesses of all sizes and across industries are experiencing significant workforce shortages despite investments in expanding domestic talent pipelines. In order to ease the workforce shortages in the Greater Louisville region and nationwide, as well as solve \u00a0the myriad of problems related to those shortages, comprehensive reform is needed to address legal immigration and border enforcement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is GLI doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reforms to the immigration system to address workforce shortages have always been a top priority of GLI\u2019s federal agenda.
