National Office of New Americans Act
S 2585, the National Office of New Americans Act, establishes a new office within the Executive Office of the President to coordinate federal efforts supporting immigrant and refugee integration. The office, led by a presidentially appointed Director confirmed by the Senate, will focus on welcoming immigrants, promoting English language learning, improving workforce development access, and ensuring citizenship pathways. Key mechanisms include creating specialized deputy director roles (for citizenship, workforce, and children's integration), forming a Federal Initiative with cabinet-level agencies to coordinate services like education and legal assistance, and requiring biannual reports to Congress on integration progress and policy impacts. This bill directly affects immigrants, refugees, and federal agencies responsible for integration programs, aiming to streamline support across government.
