Immigration Policy

AWCI supports a clear, sensible reform of the United States immigration system. The AWCI Board of Directors adopted the following policy that:

Addresses future economic needs for workers through the creation of a guest worker program.
Practically addresses undocumented workers already in the United States.
Functions efficiently for employers and workers, including an accurate, reliable and effective system to verify employment eligibility
Can be efficiently and vigorously enforced by government agencies.
Allows hard working, tax paying undocumented workers to earn legal status.
Ensures that U.S. workers are not displaced by foreign workers.
Ensures that all workers enjoy the same labor law protections.
Strengthens national security by providing for the screening of foreign workers and creating a disincentive for illegal immigration.
Secures the borders.

Policy adopted from the American Subcontractors Association, Inc.
Adopted by the AWCI Board of Directors on April 28, 2015.

We belong to the Generation T Coalition

Generation T’s mission is to show people that “work” doesn’t have to be a grind. To show that benefits go way beyond healthcare and a 401(k). To show that you can enjoy what you do and still buy a house, take vacations and support a family. To give hope, happiness and the satisfaction of a job well done. To connect individuals to the growing number of rewarding opportunities that are ready for the taking. By 2028 there will be 3 million job openings in the skilled trades. Generation T is on a mission to connect people with those opportunities.
