What this bill does
H.Res. 510 is a symbolic resolution that would designate June as "Immigrant Heritage Month," formally recognizing the contributions of immigrants and their children to the United States. The resolution does not create any new law, program, or funding; instead, it expresses the House of Representatives' view that immigrants have contributed to American health care, the economy, national security, the military, and cultural diversity. It cites statistics on immigrant participation in health care professions, essential work during the COVID-19 pandemic, business creation, military service, and economic contributions, including from undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients.
The resolution primarily affects how Congress publicly characterizes immigrants and their role in American society; it does not change immigration law, status, or benefits for any individual. It commits the House to certain non-binding pledges, such as celebrating immigrant heritage in each state, encouraging cooperation between immigrants and other residents, and working with other lawmakers, federal agencies, and the President toward what it calls "smart and just" immigration policy in the future.
The bill was introduced on June 29, 2021, by Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York, with numerous cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. As of the latest available action, it has not received a vote and did not advance further in the 117th Congress.
