119th (2025–2027)
S.Res. 796
This Senate resolution marks the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence by reaffirming the nation's founding ideals of liberty, equality, and opportunity, with a specific focus on immigrant communities. The resolution expresses concern about barriers facing immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees, including language obstacles, employment difficulties, and limited access to essential services like healthcare and legal aid. It calls on the Senate to support expanded programs for language assistance, workforce training, legal support, and naturalization services, and encourages collaboration between federal, state, and local governments with community organizations to strengthen integration efforts. The resolution also celebrates the contributions immigrant communities make to American society and calls for increased investments in initiatives that advance opportunity and equity. As a resolution rather than a bill, this measure expresses the Senate's position and commitment but does not create binding law or allocate specific funding.
