Mayor Michael Bloomberg says now is the time for immigration reform in the U.S.

Bloomberg told a bipartisan delegation of more than 70 political and community leaders from across the country on Friday that America needs a modern immigration system that “welcomes the entrepreneurs and the hard workers that will grow our nation’s economy.”

Bloomberg made the remarks at Gracie Mansion during the “Becoming America Congressional Pilgrimage.”
