Texas Employers for Immigration Reform (TEIR) believes that the choice on immigration is clear – it's between a realistic, comprehensive solution and piecemeal failure. We can't just build walls around a broken system – we need to fix the system to make sure we achieve real security, restore law & order and have enough workers to continue growing our economy. That's why we support a temporary guest worker program combined with clear, sensible workplace enforcement. Would you please think about joining TEIR , a new coalition that is making sure our collective voices reach the public and our legislative leaders? TEIR includes a broad base of Texas businesses, including everyone from farmers to hotels to restaurant associations and owners.
