Immigration

Jewish religious and ethical values provide a firm foundation for Jewish involvement in immigration and refugee policy.  Therefore, MAJf supports programs which provide opportunities to immigrants and refugees.

While most of our Immigration priorities did well this budget year, the Workforce Competitive Trust Fund did not fare so well.  The fund will be receiving $8 million less than last year.
