Calling for comprehensive legislation that addresses United States policies contributing to forced migration and displacement, promotes an immigration system that addresses the root causes of migration, reaffirms United States commitment to asylum, and provides a roadmap to citizenship for immigrants living in the United States.

HRES 1525 is a non-binding resolution calling for the U.S. government to address policies contributing to forced migration and displacement. It urges reforms such as overhauling economic sanctions, investing in developing countries to reduce poverty and instability, and reforming trade agreements to protect workers. The resolution also calls for expanding legal immigration pathways, improving asylum processing, and creating a roadmap to citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. As a resolution, it does not create new laws but sets policy priorities for future legislative action.
