## Summary

**Centering pathways to citizenship** for long-term undocumented residents, this resolution would also press for broader asylum access and expanded legal family and worker visas as core goals for immigration reform. It frames those goals alongside limits on harsh enforcement tactics and barriers that block family unity and worker protections. - Families: It would push to remove barriers like arbitrary 3- and 10-year bans that separate U.S. citizens from their mixed-status relatives and discourage prolonged separation. - Undocumented long-term residents: It calls for legal routes toward citizenship for millions described as neighbors, friends, and family. - People seeking refuge: It would demand broader, meaningful access to asylum and refugee protections consistent with U.S. international obligations. - Workers: It highlights the need to fix exploitative temporary visa rules that stop immigrants from changing employers and undermine job and family stability. - Enforcement and equity: It urges limits on militarized enforcement, on deputizing local law enforcement, and on profiteering by private detention firms while calling for fair treatment of children, people of color, people with disabilities, and those fleeing violence.
