NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, it would be 7 Trillion dollars of tax benefits to the ultra-wealthy and corporations and would be "paid for" with significant cuts to health (Medicaid) and food programs (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.) NETWORK strongly support the Tax Cut for Workers Act (H.R. 2764). This bill would Virtually triple the maximum value of the EITC for so-called childless workers from about $540 to about $1,500; extend the credit to both younger and older workers who are currently ineligible for the credit because of their age - delivering the credit to people ages 19 to 24 as well as 65 and older; and make the credit more accessible for adults aging out of the foster youth system. NETWORK endorsed and supports the American Family Act to provide a fully refundable Child Tax Credit to all families. NETWORK strongly opposes HR 1 because the tax relief is highly regressive, providing most to high income individuals and major corporations (4.5 trillion), while failing to expand low income tax credits to lift working families out of poverty. This bill drives up our national debt by 3.5 trillion. Tax relief is "paid for" by gutting healthcare and food programs for families. The bill also encourages US job loss due to offshoring incentives. NETWORK support the Working Families Disaster Tax Relief Act (S.3432 / H.R.6645) to help families affected by federally declared disasters by letting them use their previous year's income to calculate eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). NETWORK supports the following bills to tax the ultra-wealthy and corporations: Tax Wealth Over $50 Million Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act - Introduces a 2% annual tax on household net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, plus a 1% to 3% surtax on net worth over $1 billion. It targets the top 0.05% of households to raise roughly $3 trillion over 10 years. Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act - Proposes a 5% annual wealth tax on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion, targeting about 938 Americans to raise roughly $4.4 trillion over a decade. This bill funds social programs like childcare, public education, and health initiatives. * The Robinhood Act, a bill to tax billionaires by taxing loan when he/she borrows against stock options. Most billionaires are pay themselves in stock options which are not taxable. Enact a millionaires surtax to fund health care and education Millionaires Surtax Act - Applies an additional 10-percentage point tax on incomes exceeding $2 million for married couples ($1 million for individuals), aiming to raise roughly $634-$716 billion over 10 years. It targets the top 0.2% of earners to fund public services like health care and education. Curb dynastic wealth and reduce the power of billionaires For the 99.5 Percent Act - Increases federal estate and gift taxes on the wealthiest Americans to reduce wealth inequality. The bill seeks to reduce the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and progressively raises the top tax rate. Billionaires Income Tax Act - Ensures that ultra-wealthy individuals pay taxes annually on gains from tradable assets like stocks, rather than deferring taxes until assets are sold. The bill targets taxpayers with over $1 billion in assets or over $100 million in income for three consecutive years. Making corporations pay their fair share Raise the Corporate Income Tax - Increase the federal corporate income tax rate-from 21% up to 28%-to raise federal revenue, fund public investments, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share. No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act - Eliminates tax incentives that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, factories, and profits overseas. It would equalize foreign and domestic corporate tax rates that would incentivize offshoring investments. Strengthening Social Security and Medicare Scrap the payroll tax cap to fully fund Social Security and Medicare for next generations: Social Security 2100 Act - Applies the Social Security payroll tax to earnings over $400,000, closing the gap where high incomes were previously exempt.

NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention. NETWORK opposed S. 5, the Laken-Riley Bill. The bill raises serious due process concerns by requiring mandatory detention in cases where people have been accused of theft and other petty crimes. Additional concerns include the guaranteed right to sue for states that disagree with federal immigration policy (including threatening the exclusions of visa to entire countries). NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country.

American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 (H.R. 1589) which would provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It would also include recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) beneficiaries. Religious Workforce Protection Act (H.R. 2672 / S. 1298) which would amend immigration law to allow foreign-born religious workers (R-1 visa holders) to remain in the U.S. past the current 5-year limit while awaiting permanent residency (EB-4) approval, preventing mandatory one-year departures. Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act (H.R. 3763 / S. 1965) which would eliminate employment-based visa caps for abused, abandoned, and neglected children who are classified as special immigrant juveniles.

These agencies are not living up to obligations to conduct themselves with humanity and care for individuals. Rather they are unaccountable agents who disregard basic standards of human dignity and care. They should not be funded unless they overhaul operations and apply basic policing standards to their work. NETWORK Lobby strongly opposed the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement.

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that will substantially expand detention and deportation of law-abiding immigrants who contribute to our communities. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention. NETWORK opposed S. 5, the Laken-Riley Bill. The bill raises serious due process concerns by requiring mandatory detention in cases where people have been accused of theft and other petty crimes. Additional concerns include the guaranteed right to sue for states that disagree with federal immigration policy (including threatening the exclusions of visa to entire countries). NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country. NETWORK strongly supports: Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R. 1061) which would prohibit enforcement actions like arrests or searches at places such as schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses, DMVs, and homeless shelters. American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 (H.R. 1589) which would provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It would also include recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) beneficiaries. Religious Workforce Protection Act (H.R. 2672 / S. 1298) which would amend immigration law to allow foreign-born religious workers (R-1 visa holders) to remain in the U.S. past the current 5-year limit while awaiting permanent residency (EB-4) approval, preventing mandatory one-year departures. Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act (H.R. 3763 / S. 1965) which would eliminate employment-based visa caps for abused, abandoned, and neglected children who are classified as special immigrant juveniles. The Dream Act (S. 3348) which would provide a path to lawful permanent residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers". The Dignity for Detained Immigrant Act (HR 6397) which would reform the U.S. detention system by ending mandatory detention, prohibiting family detention, and phasing out private detention facilities over three years. NETWORK opposes funding proposals for ICE and CBP without adequate protections for communities to stop oppose and mass deportations. These agencies are not living up to obligations to conduct themselves with humanity and care for individuals. Rather they are unaccountable agents who disregard basic standards of human dignity and care. They should not be funded unless they overhaul operations and apply basic policing standards to their work. NETWORK Lobby strongly opposed the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement. This bill expands funding for mass deportation and detention of immigrant community members, and fails to include legal protections to ensure immigration enforcement is executed in a humane manner consistent with other law enforcement agencies. NETWORK strongly supports H.R. 1689, a bill to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status. This is critical to ensure current Haitian TPS holders can remain in the US and have valid work authorization. NETWORK strongly opposes the Deport Alien Gang Members Act, a bill that would drastically expand the federal governments authority to label activists as gang members and expedite their removal.
