                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing the contributions of university and college immigrant 
                          assistance programs.

Whereas university and college immigrant assistance programs provide critical 
        services to immigrants and to the United States;
Whereas the public servants who dedicate themselves to serving immigrants are to 
        be commended for their dedication to improving the lives of others;
Whereas legal services, citizenship test preparation, assistance with 
        applications for permanent residency, and English language courses are 
        some of the invaluable services offered by many universities and 
        colleges to immigrants at no charge;
Whereas these programs have helped countless immigrants make a better life for 
        themselves and their families in the United States; and
Whereas assisting immigrants to become United States citizens helps immigrants 
        obtain a stake in their community and promotes civic engagement: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the 
contributions of universities and colleges in helping immigrants 
achieve citizenship and pursue the American dream.
