Executive Director of Florida Business and Technology Immigration Coalition
Alicia Race
The
Florida Business and Technology Immigration Coalition (FBTIC) will be crucial
to setting the stage for commonsense immigration reform in 2017, which includes
reforming our broken immigration system based on the following principles:
sensible border and interior security, strengthening families and the economy
by modernizing the legal immigration system, and providing a pathway for those
who are undocumented. The goal of the Florida coalition is to provide a strong
and effective voice for Florida business and tech leaders in the national
immigration conversation and urge elected officials to vote for and actively
support commonsense immigration reform.
