Business interests, labor unions and Hispanic activists are launching a summer push for federal immigration reform — including legalization of some illegals already in the U.S. The Reform Immigration for America effort melds amnesty reform with the ability of immigrants workers to unionize and pans workplace and other raids aimed at picking up those illegally in the U.S. The National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic activist group, is part of the effort, which backs immigration reform pushed by President Barack Obama. Labor unions, including the AFL-CIO and Service Employees International Union, have joined the campaign as have businesses groups such as the National Immigration Forum. The NIF’s board includes executives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Restaurant Association, American Nursery & Landscape Association and United Food & Commercial Workers Union.
