               LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENCY FOR UKRAINIANS

  (Mr. KILEY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KILEY of California. Mr. Speaker, as a cosponsor of H.R. 3104, 
the Ukrainian Adjustment Act, I am calling for prompt consideration and 
passage of this important legislation.
  We have Ukrainians across this country who came here following 
Russia's invasion on humanitarian parole. They have contributed to our 
communities in countless ways.
  They entered the United States legally. They passed rigorous vetting. 
They have created lives here, and they have contributed in so many 
different ways to both our communities and our economy.
  There are 45,000 Ukrainian-American businesses supporting 300,000 
jobs, $60 billion in economic activity, and $8 billion to $9 billion in 
taxes paid each year. Yet, these individuals right now are in a state 
of legal uncertainty that creates various problems for their families 
and their ability to plan for the future.
  This legislation will adjust their status to lawful permanent 
resident. It is the right thing to do for these individuals and their 
families. It is the right thing to do for our economy and communities 
across this country, and I urge immediate passage of this legislation.
