Urges Congress to pass "Afghan Adjustment Act."

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 204) urges the U.S. Congress to pass the bipartisan "Afghan Adjustment Act." It directly addresses over 76,000 Afghans who aided U.S. forces in Afghanistan and were evacuated to the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole after the 2021 withdrawal, leaving them without a clear path to permanent legal status. The resolution describes the Act as providing a pathway for these individuals to apply for permanent residency, similar to past legislation for Cuban, Southeast Asian, and Iraqi allies. It emphasizes that these Afghans endangered their lives to support U.S. missions and now face legal uncertainty despite their service. The resolution is a formal request to Congress, not a binding law.
