 ,mr4 ,booker7 submitted the following  
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on the ,judiciary            
,,resolution  ,recognizing the upcoming 
#bejth anniversary of the ,united       
,states of ,america and reaffirming the 
commitment of the ,senate to the        
,nation's founding ideals of liberty1   
equality1 and opportunity for all       
immigrant communities in the ,united    
,states4  ,whereas1 as the ,united      
,states approaches the #bejth           
anniversary of its founding1 the people 
of the ,united ,states reflect on the   
,nation's history1 progress1 and        
enduring commitment to the principles of
 liberty and justice2 ,whereas1 despite 
attacks from the current                

,administration1 the ,senate reaffirms  
that all people are created equal in    
dignity and worth and are entitled to   
unalienable rights1 including life1     
liberty1 and the pursuit of happiness2  
,whereas1 when the ,federal ,government 
fails to secure these ideals1 it is the 
responsibility of ,members of ,congress 
to challenge and transform systems that 
deny dignity and justice2 ,whereas these
 founding ideals have not always been   
fully realized and each generation bears
 responsibility for advancing these     
ideals more fully in law1 policy1 and   
practice2 ,whereas1 in recognition of   
the barriers and hardships faced by     
asylum seekers1 refugees1 and all       
immigrant communities1 including        
conditions that undermine               
internationally recognized human rights 
and constitutional protections1 the     
,senate must continue to advance        
systemic change2 ,whereas1 in the       
absence of consistent ,federal          
leadership in upholding the ,nation's   

commitments and obligations to asylum   
seekers1 refugees1 and immigrant        
communities1 the ,senate plays a        
critical role in advancing inclusion1   
equity1 and opportunity for all         
residents regardless of immigration     
status2 ,whereas barriers such as       
limited ,english proficiency1 employment
 obstacles1 and restricted access to    
essential services prevent many         
immigrants from fully engaging in the   
social1 economic1 and civic life of     
their communities2 ,whereas existing    
pathways to the ,united ,states1        
including pathways to citizenship1 face 
increasing restrictions and adverse     
policy shifts1 creating obstacles that  
undermine stability1 opportunity1 and   
full participation in communities       
represented by ,members of the ,senate2 
,whereas ensuring access to health care1
 legal services1 social services1       
housing1 food security1 education1 and  
safe and humane migration pathways are  
essential components of an equitable and

 inclusive ,united ,states1 promoting   
the health1 safety1 and well-being of   
communities across the ,united ,states2 
,whereas immigrant communities in the   
,united ,states make significant social1
 cultural1 economic1 and civic          
contributions to the ,united ,states1   
strengthening the ,united ,states and   
enriching its shared future1 and        
reflecting the enduring promise of the  
founding ideals of the ,united ,states2 
and ,whereas the #bejth anniversary of  
the founding of the ,united ,states of  
,america serves not only as a           
celebration1 but as a moment for        
reflection1 civic participation1 and    
renewed commitment to building a more   
inclusive1 equitable1 and united future 
for all who call the ,united ,states    
home3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the  
,senate-- 7#a7 supports efforts1        
consistent with this commitment1 to     
expand and strengthen programs that     
assist individuals in overcoming common 
barriers to full participation in the   

social1 economic1 and civic life of the 
,united ,states1 including language     
access programs1 workforce and          
employment assistance1 legal support1   
and naturalization services2  7#b7      
encourages collaboration with local     
community-based organizations1 nonprofit
 organizations serving immigrants and   
refugees1 faith institutions1           
educational institutions1 advocacy      
groups1 and labor and business partners 
to provide critical services and ensure 
that integration programs are culturally
 responsive1 accessible1 and effective2 
7#c7 urges ,federal1 ,state1 and local  
governments to increase investments in  
initiatives that advance opportunity1   
strengthen communities1 and uphold the  
,nation's commitments to equity and     
inclusion2  7#d7 calls for a commitment 
to building a more inclusive1 equitable1
 and united future for all who call the 
,united ,states home2  7#e7 celebrates  
the contributions of immigrant          
communities in the ,united ,states to   

the ,nation's social1 cultural1 and     
economic life2 and  7#f7 recognizes the 
significance of global solidarity in    
upholding the principles of the         
,universal ,declaration of ,human       
,rights1 and in advancing dignity1      
justice1 and freedom for all people     
confronting systemic oppression across  
borders and continents4
