Reform of the nation’s immigration laws could help employers who are having a hard time filling jobs openings, resulting in wage inflation pressures, U.S. Rep. Sean Casten, D-Downers Grove, said at a town hall meeting in Orland Park.
U.S. Rep. Sean Casten, D-Downers Grove, talks with residents Thursday following a town hall meeting at the Orland Park Public Library.
Casten said through town halls and mailings he is trying to familiarize himself with the redrawn district. He said he has so far met with 40 mayors.“Seventy-five percent of the 6th District is new to me,” he said, as the remap added constituents from portions of Chicago and suburbs previously outside his area.
It was the second in-person town hall Casten had held since the election, the other taking place in La Grange, according to his staff. Two telephone town hall meetings have also been held.
