The resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act, which aims to provide a pathway to permanent legal status for Afghan evacuees who assisted the U.S. during its military operations in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021. Following the withdrawal of U.S. forces on August 31, 2021, many Afghan allies, including those who risked their lives for American ideals, were left in precarious situations. Approximately 76,000 Afghans were evacuated to the U.S. under humanitarian parole, but this status is temporary and does not offer a clear path to citizenship, leaving these individuals in legal uncertainty.

The resolution highlights the contributions and sacrifices of Afghan allies and emphasizes the moral obligation of the U.S. government to honor its commitments to them. It notes that the Afghan Adjustment Act is bipartisan legislation that would allow these individuals to apply for long-term protection in the U.S., similar to past legislation that provided similar opportunities for other groups. The resolution calls for action from Congress to ensure the safety and stability of those who stood with the United States during the conflict in Afghanistan.
