Us Chamber of Commerce Endorses Illegal Immigration?
Would you interpret that according to this quote from the US Chamber of Commerce's website that they are, in fact, ENDORSING Illegal Immigration? And if so, do you approve of membership in such an organization?
“Continue to push for comprehensive immigration reform that: increases security; has an earned pathway to legalization for undocumented workers already contributing to our economy, provided that they are law-abiding and prepared to embrace the obligations and values of our society; creates a carefully monitored guest or essential worker program to fill the growing gaps in America's workforce recognizing that, in some cases, permanent immigrants will be needed to fill these gaps; and refrains from unduly burdening employers with worker verification systems that are underfunded or unworkable.”
IE: The Chambers of Commerce are promoting criminal activity:
Added Info to support the validity of this question:
The legislation “represents a crucial step forward in securing our borders and protecting the lives and property of the American people,” said Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), contending that the bill would combat the smuggling of illegal immigrants into the United States and “result in more individuals being held accountable for breaking immigration laws.”
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops and the American Bar Assn. have all criticized the bill as draconian.
“This bill is unacceptable to the business community,” Randel Johnson, vice president for labor, immigration and employee benefits with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a conference call with reporters

Well, now you see one of the big jokes involving our Government and business. Business needs illegal immigrants for labor and govt. needs business for tax base.
We are only giving lip service to illegal immigration, and I for one am disgusted by it. I would have thought that on September 12, 2001 we could have sealed the borders.
We need workers, I do believe that. Unions and general sorriness have made it hard for a business to succeed with in the typical American labor market, but we also need to know just who the HELL is in our country too!

How do you come up with that conclusion!
They clearly are promoting a campaign to try and have the law changed which is how democracy works. If there suggested reforms are implemented then none of the examples given would be illegal anymore. If they were saying that companies should ignore current laws then you would have a point, but in this case you are so far off.
I think you are confusing your wishes to stop immigration reform with reality.
