Whereas university and college immigrant assistance programs provide critical services to immigrants and to the United States; Whereas the public servants who dedicate themselves to serving immigrants are to be commended for their dedication to improving the lives of others; Whereas legal services, citizenship test preparation, assistance with applications for permanent residency, and English language courses are some of the invaluable services offered by many universities and colleges to immigrants at no charge; Whereas these programs have helped countless immigrants make a better life for themselves and their families in the United States; and Whereas assisting immigrants to become United States citizens helps immigrants obtain a stake in their community and promotes civic engagement: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives recognizes the contributions of universities and colleges in helping immigrants achieve citizenship and pursue the American dream.
