State Chamber Supports Lankford/Federal Border Legislation
OKLAHOMA CITY (Feb. 6, 2024) – The State Chamber of Oklahoma’s president and CEO Chad Warmington voices support from his organization for the pro-growth initiatives set forth in federal legislation laid out by Oklahoma Senator James Lankford and other senate members.
“It’s encouraging to see that there are still statesmen like James Lankford in American politics. Senator Lankford is actually working on the problem, and in doing so is trying to deliver wins for the American people. Senator Lankford’s bill will implement targeted, pro-growth immigration reforms that will help Oklahoma businesses meet their critical workforce needs. Currently, there are over 30,000 jobs going unfilled in Oklahoma each year. We cannot afford to overlook any potential remedies to the systemic workforce crisis in our state. Sensible, pro-growth immigration reform is at the top of the list of policy levers we can pull to help our economy grow.
We thank Senator Lankford for having the courage and insight to tackle this tough issue. We look forward to working with him to try to make these solutions a reality for Oklahoma.”
