SUMMARY:TAKE ACTION TODAY: Urge members of Congress to advance an Afghan Adjustment Act
DESCRIPTION:Fulfill Our Commitment to Afghan Families: Advance an Afghan Adjustment Act with Fiscal Year 2022 Appropriations \nAs a Catholic concerned for our new Afghan neighbors and your constituent\, I urge you to follow through on our commitment to provide lasting safety and security to Afghan individuals and families by moving forward an Afghan Adjustment Act with Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations.  \nSince August of 2021\, the U.S. has welcomed thousands of Afghans\, many of them children. These Afghan allies and their families are at risk of harm if they are unable to receive long-term safety and permanent legal status in the U.S. \nCongress must immediately support and pass an Afghan Adjustment Act\, which would lift the cloud of legal uncertainty of parole that Afghans currently have and\, instead\, offer them the opportunity to apply to become lawful permanent residents—the same legal status they would have received had they been admitted as refugees. This is crucial to ensure their successful integration and would involve a formal application process that includes background checks\, consistent with previous adjustment acts. The last thing we want is to see any of these people added to our country’s undocumented population or forced to return to danger. \nPlease pass an Afghan Adjustment Act without further delay. \nClick the link below to log in and send your message:\nhttps://www.votervoice.net/BroadcastLinks/PBlHkfvY9OoW4i7UaFbk0A
