To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes that: 

a) the nation of sanctuary is an approach to supporting people seeking asylum, including Ukrainian refugees of Putin’s illegal war of aggression;

b) immigration policy, including asylum and decisions on the placement and number of people placed in Wales, is reserved to the UK Government; and

c) Wales has a long history of welcoming people fleeing violence or persecution with respect and compassion.

2. Regrets the discourse and rhetoric that seeks to turn immigration and asylum into an issue to divide people and communities. 

3. Resolves to proudly uphold the principles of international solidarity of supporting safe, united communities by working with partners to support people seeking sanctuary to integrate and contribute positively to our nation.
