A Guide to Naturalization Immigratsiooniõigus Selleks, et AAPI sisserändajad Washingtoni osariigis saaksid elada täisväärtuslikku, turvalist ja tervet elu, vajame turvalisi ja toetavaid institutsioone ja poliitikaid, mis teenindavad kõiki üksikisikuid olenemata sisserände staatusest. Miks see oluline on? 1996. aasta hoolekandereformi seaduse tõttu ei ole paljudel sisserändajatel esimesel viiel elamisaastal õigust kasutada turvavõrguprogramme ning hirm avaliku tasu ees on heidutanud rohkem immigrante teenustele juurdepääsu saamast. Washingtoni osariigis elavast enam kui 800 000 AAPI-st on umbes pooled välismaal sündinud. See hõlmab umbes 60 000 dokumentideta AAPI-d ( üleriigis on umbes 1,7 miljonit dokumenteerimata AAPI-d) . 73% Washingtonis asuvatest Aasia ameeriklastest räägib kodus mõnda muud keelt peale inglise keele ja neist enam kui 44% räägib inglise keelt vähem kui "väga hästi". Umbes 60 707 Aasia ameeriklast Washingtonis (10%) elab vaesuses ja umbes 7951 NHPI-d Washingtonis (17%) elab vaesuses, mis tähendab vajadust avaliku abi järele. Vastupidiselt peavoolu narratiividele on AAPI rühmade seas sotsiaalmajanduslik, etniline ja keeleline/kultuuriline mitmekesisus kõrge. Näiteks India leibkondade keskmine sissetulek on 115 105 dollarit, samas kui hmongi leibkondade keskmine sissetulek on 53 717 dollarit. Sel eesmärgil toetab APIC teie juurdepääsu tasuta/vähendatud õigusabile ja toetab järgmisi poliitikasoovitusi. Laiendage LEP-teid: LEP-i rahastamine edendab pagulaste ja sisserändajate majanduslikku iseseisvat toimetulekut tööalaste koolitusprogrammide, kooli poolelijätmise klasside ja töötoetuse kaudu, mis loob kindla aluse töövõimalustele ja naturalisatsioonile. LEP võimaldab juurdepääsu ka tervishoiu- ja sotsiaalteenuseid otsivatele pensionäridele. LEP Pathwaysi rahastust kärbiti pärast majanduslangust ja seda pole sellest ajast alates algsele summale taastatud. Suurendage naturalisatsiooniteenuste rahastamist: Washingtoni osariigi naturalisatsiooniprogramm aitab pagulastel ja sisserändajatel saada kodakondsuse taotlemisel, inglise keele ja kodanikuõpetuse tundide ning intervjuude ettevalmistamise kaudu. Eakad ja puudega pagulased ja immigrandid on naturalisatsiooniprogrammi peamised saajad. Eraldage rahalised vahendid õiguskaitsefondile: Seaduse kohaselt ei ole sisserändajatele tagatud juurdepääs advokaadile ja nad satuvad sageli immigratsioonikohtusse ilma seadusliku esindajata. See fond on vajalik selleks, et anda sisserändajatele piisavad ressursid ja tööriistad, mida nad vajavad oma kogukonnas viibimiseks, olenemata sellest, kas nad saavad endale advokaadi lubada. Laiendage töötushüvitiste saamise õigust: ajaloo ühe suurima majanduskriisi ajal on dokumentideta töötajad samaväärselt väärt juurdepääsu töötuskindlustusele. Töötushüvitiste laiendamine kõigile on vajalik kõigi immigrantide toetamiseks ja tõstmiseks. Kaitske dokumentideta sisserändajaid: Washingtoni töö ja kohtud kõigile avatud hoidmisega peaks meie osariigi valitsus jätkuvalt seadma esikohale dokumentideta Washingtoni elanike turvalisus ning minimeerima föderaalsete immigratsiooni täitevasutuste võimu ja tegevust. See hõlmab valitsusasutuste ja immigratsioonikaitseorganite vahelise sobimatu koostöö jätkamist, kubermangude armuandmise võimsuse ja sageduse suurendamist ning kasumit taotlevate kinnipidamiskeskuste lõpetamist.

Legislative Priorities Tervise võrdsus immigrantidele Bill Status: Did not pass Lisaeelarves eraldati 12,131 miljonit dollarit , et käivitada alates 2024. aastast tervisekindlustusprogrammid kõigile Washingtoni elanikele (olenemata nende immigratsioonistaatusest). HB 1482 Send a Comment The Health Equity for Immigrants Campaign is calling on the Washington State Legislature to codify the Apple Health Expansion in statute through legislation. This will ensure that the roughly 12,000 people who are now accessing health insurance through the expansion will not lose access, and will allocate sufficient funds to allow 35,000 low-income undocumented Washingtonians to use the Medicaid-like program. Tervise võrdsus immigrantidele Status: $3.5 million per year for Naturalization services preserved in the operating budget $1.77 million per year for LEP Pathway services preserved in the operating budget Naturalization services help refugees and immigrants, predominantly those who are disabled and elderly, attain citizenship through assistance in completing the USCIS N-400 naturalization application and fee waiver requests, classes in American history and civics, and interview preparation. By maintaining funding for Naturalization services at $3,545,000 in fiscal year 2025 and 2026, we can continue to serve immigrants and refugees in our state. The Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathways’ primary goal is to promote economic self-sufficiency for refugees and immigrants through job training, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, work support, and social services. By maintaining funding for the LEP Pathways program at $1,774,000, we can better support low-income and limited English speaking immigrants. These program funding sources were cut during the 2008 financial crisis, causing immigrant communities to suffer disproportionately during that time of economic downturn. It is critical that we not repeat this mistake, especially during times of deep anxiety and uncertainty for immigrant communities.
