President Joe Biden has asked Congress to provide tens of thousands of Afghan refugees with a pathway to become legal permanent residents of the United States.
Washington President Joe Biden has asked Congress to provide tens of thousands of Afghan refugees with a pathway to become legal permanent residents of the United States, according to a proposal included in the supplemental budget request he sent to lawmakers last week.
While that budget request centers around emergency aid to Ukraine, the President included the Afghan Adjustment Act in the text, the document shows. The adjustment legislation has been spearheaded in recent months by Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. If passed, the measure would allow Afghan nationals who entered the US between July 31, 2021, and September 20, 2022, to apply to adjust their immigration status to permanent residency.
