Immigration has been a political hot potato for decades. While there are many complexities to immigration, from border security to balancing the correct allotment of visas to legal requirements, there is strong bipartisan support for acting on immigration reform.
There are many that view immigration as a zero-sum game - that if immigrants are allowed access and secure employment, somehow the U.S. economy suffers and American workers are denied opportunities. That is a nonsensical argument fed by misguided beliefs in the role immigrants play and the jobs they fill. Immigration has been a critical staple for companies who need world class talent to innovate and compete in the global marketplace. Immigrants are entrepreneurial and spur direct and indirect job creation, drive higher consumption, state and local taxes, and have a positive impact on local communities. Business understands the importance of diversity of thought and how it spurs innovation, creativity, and ultimately, economic growth.

At the same time, Bolten said in a CNBC Squawk Box interview, the Administration's tariff-based tactics are counterproductive, and coming away from the current "major confrontation" with only a short-term agreement on trade would be a disappointment.

Disasters are most often unexpected and urgent, which sometimes conflicts with funders' desire to perform thorough due diligence and vetting of grant recipients to ensure alignment with strategy and maximum impact. The PwC Charitable Foundation has addressed this tension by identifying credible national and global nonprofits working in disaster relief/response, before a crisis strikes, and establishing strategic multi-year collaborations. Though it takes an upfront investment, having these relationships in place enables the Foundation to mobilize quickly in times of need - an approach which proved incredibly effective during Hurricanes Harvey, Maria and Irma and the Mexico City earthquake.
