September 8, 2023 Employer Letter to President Biden - Let States Sponsor Immigrants to Meet Their Work Needs Given the urgent workforce crisis, TAMACC calls on our chamber members, business leaders, sister organizations, and friends to sign a letter asking President Biden to expand work permits for immigrants, including long-term contributors and newcomers. Economists have estimated that two years of lost immigration is responsible for nearly half of the workers missing from the labor force. The US Chamber of Commerce has also shown that between 20 and 60 percent of jobs remained unfilled in key work sectors, including manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, financial services, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality. Our broken immigration system demands immediate action. Please join the hundreds who have already signed this bipartisan letter to help Keep Texas Strong. SIGN THE LETTER Bring a Friend and Lots of Business Cards. This is an Event You Want to be at. You are invited to join us at the TAMACC Power Hour Business Mixer, where our objective is to bring together Central Texas Latinas and Latinos, shining a spotlight on the robustness of our cherished community, Nuestra Comunidad. Together, we will showcase the exceptional potential that Nuestra Comunidad holds.

Luis von Ahn, born in Guatemala Сіtу, Guatemala, is an entrepreneur who has made waves and achieved huge success in the computing and technology industries. He is also a Consulting Professor in the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University. Before Luis von Ahn co-founded Duolingo, a gamified language-learning app used by hundreds of millions around the world, he was fixated on squiggly letters. The entrepreneur was a co-inventor of CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA, or those security prompts you get while browsing the web to verify if you are a human or if you are a robot.   And while von Ahn often jokes that his early inventions were considered annoying (it causes friction when consumers must decipher letters before logging into their email) reCAPTCHA was impressive enough that Google scooped it up.
