Urges Congress and President to enact immigration policies that better serve national interest.

This is a non-binding resolution (AR 17) introduced by the New Jersey Assembly. It urges Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform and the President to enforce existing immigration laws, citing a 2023 record of 3.2 million border encounters with undocumented individuals and an estimated 16.8 million undocumented immigrants nationwide. The resolution specifically notes New Jersey's estimated 755,000 undocumented residents and states that illegal immigration threatens the nation's foundation. As a symbolic request, it has no legal effect and will be sent to federal officials for their consideration.
