Immigration (DACA & Dreamers) in Iowa

passed · Iowa · House Mar 27, 2025

HR 14: A resolution calling upon the President of the United States and the United States Congress to support efforts to naturalize certain legally adopted children who were born outside the United States.

This resolution (HR 14) calls on the President and Congress to support the Adoptee Citizenship Act, which would grant U.S. citizenship to children legally adopted from abroad who were 18 or older when the 2000 Child Citizenship Act took effect. It directly affects adoptees who were excluded from automatic citizenship under the 2000 law, despite being raised in the U.S. by American citizens. The resolution urges action to prevent deportation and address barriers these individuals face, such as difficulties obtaining passports, banking services, or education benefits. It does not create new law but advocates for congressional support of the pending Adoptee Citizenship Act.
