AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, titled "Immigration," is a formal expression by the California Legislature urging the President and Congress of the United States to address what it describes as a broken and antiquated immigration system. The resolution highlights that the U.S. is a nation of immigrants and emphasizes the significant contributions immigrants make to the economy and society, noting that many undocumented immigrants live with family members who are legal residents or citizens. It calls for a comprehensive and compassionate approach that includes establishing a pathway to citizenship requiring immigrants to pay back taxes and learn English, enhancing border security, reforming enforcement to strengthen family unity, upgrading visa programs with a guest worker program for agricultural workers to ensure labor protections, and upholding the rights of all immigrants. The resolution concludes by directing the Chief Clerk to send copies of this message to various federal and state officials.
