Senator Reyes speaks in support of SJR 8

SJR 8 urges Congress to pass H.R. 1511 and S. 2606, legislation that would update the registry and allow immigrants who have lived in the United States for at least seven years to apply for lawful permanent resident status.

SJR 8 reaffirms California's commitment to protecting and uplifting our immigrant communities. Immigrants are an integral part of California's identity and prosperity, and we must support federal action that honors their contributions and provides a long-overdue pathway to belonging.
