One Year Later: Congress Must Pass The Afghan Adjustment Act 

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - A year after the fall of Kabul, our resettled
Afghan allies lack a stable future that Congress could provide. Many of
our resettled Afghan allies are here on humanitarian parole or Temporary
Protected Status, which lack permanent residency.  

In addition, Congress and the president should focus on continuing to
rescue American allies who remain in Afghanistan.  

"Our resettled allies should have no fear that they might be forced to
return to Afghanistan," said Dan Kosten, Assistant Vice President of
Policy and Advocacy at the National Immigration Forum. "We must live up
to our promises to protect our allies who remain in Afghanistan. 

"As communities across the U.S. continue to welcome Afghan evacuees with
open arms, Congress must pass the Afghan Adjustment Act to provide
resettled Afghans a legal pathway to permanency and stability as they
rebuild their lives here." 

Last week, the introduction of the bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act

- which would offer Afghan allies and evacuees the stability of a
certain future - signified a step in the right direction. The National
Immigration Forum
,
including evangelical leaders

and national security experts
,
weighed in to support the bill.
