CHICAGO — Less than 4% of respondents to a Wire survey report their operations were impacted in spring 2006 by walkouts or boycotts that were related to immigration-reform demonstrations.
Against the backdrop of legislation proposed to toughen U.S. immigration laws, only 22.6% of respondents believe a crackdown on illegal immigrants would substantially reduce the available labor pool in their area and thus make it more difficult for them to hire workers.
