\u00abA well-deserved recognition for Raul’s leadership, his integrity and contribution to Illinois’ vibrant Catholic and immigrant communities,\u00bb said John Rowe<\/strong>, IBIC co-chair and Exelon Chairman Emeritus.
\n\u201cRaul is the perfect example of the entrepreneurial spirit\u00a0immigrants bring to Illinois and our nation,\u00bb Senator Kirk<\/strong> said. \u00abI look forward to welcoming Raul to the Capitol\u00a0and\u00a0continuing to stand with him in support of immigration reform\u00a0so we can\u00a0unlock the full potential of everyone in Illinois, boost economic growth, and keep families together permanently.\u00bb
\n\u00abI am honored and grateful to have been invited by Senator Mark Kirk to listen to the Pope address Congress,\u00bb said Raul Raymundo<\/strong> \u00abAs a devout Catholic whose life’s work has been shaped by my Catholic values, I hope that the Holy Father’s message on the plight of immigrants will resonate with every member of Congress and that they will take action to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform.\u00bb
\nCEO of The Resurrection Project, Raul came to the United States from Mexico as a child. As a devout Catholic, he has spent the last 25 years building over $300 million in economic assets for Mexican Americans creating over 1500 jobs in the Southwest Side community where he grew up. Raul has been at the forefront of every pro-immigrant bill passed in Illinois including in-state tuition, Illinois DREAM Act, and Illinois driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants. Raul \u00a0serves on the boards of Archdiocese Catholic Schools, Ounce of Prevention Fund, Illinois Business Immigration Coalition, and National Association of Latino Asset Builders.<\/p>\n

The Illinois Business Immigration Coalition promotes common sense immigration reform that advances Illinois economic competitiveness, provides Illinois companies with both the high-skilled and low-skilled talent they need, and allows the integration of immigrants into our economy as consumers, workers, entrepreneurs and citizens.\u00a0 For more information please visit\u00a0<\/em>www.illinoisbic.biz<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
