Welcoming immigrants would cool off inflation, US Chamber of Commerce CEO says [View all]
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/11/economy/chamber-of-commerce-inflation/index.html
New York (CNN Business)The US Chamber of Commerce is calling for doubling the number of legal immigrants into America as a way to ease inflation and the worker shortage.
"We need more workers. We should welcome people who want to come here, go to school and stay," Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday. "That is a place the government could be particularly helpful and we do believe it would be anti-inflationary."
Clark added that ramping up immigration would help to ease the supply chain disruptions that are at the heart of the inflation spike, including the shortage of truck drivers.
"If we can alleviate the worker shortage, it might be the fastest thing to do to impact inflation," Clark said.
