RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY THE SULLIVAN COUNTY LEGISLATURE TO AUTHORIZE A LETTER TO BE SENT ON BEHALF OF THE SULLIVAN COUNTY LEGISLATURE TO OUR CONGRESSIONAL AND SENATORIAL REPRESENTATIVES IN SUPPORT OF REINSTATING THE U4U VISA PROGRAM
WHEREAS, that the TPS Programs have been eliminated for everyone, and
WHEREAS, the current federal administration is focused on people who have come into this country illegally, and
WHEREAS, many Ukranians have followed the process and have come here legally for protective status because of the war in Ukraine, and
WHEREAS, the Federal Government has terminated their VISAS and the program in its entirety, and the Sullivan County Legislature finds this to be outrageous and requests that it be reinstated.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Chair of the Sullivan County Legislature on behalf of the Sullivan County Legislature is hereby authorized to sign a letter in support of this resolution.
