Bill Summary

RESOLUTION Recognizing that article I, section 10 of the United States Constitution explicitly reserves to the States the sovereign power to repel an invasion and defend their citizenry from the overwhelming and ‘‘imminent danger’’ posed by paramilitary, narco-terrorist cartels, terrorists and criminal actors who have seized control of our southern border.

AI Summary

This Resolution asserts that states have the constitutional right, under Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, to defend themselves against invasion and imminent danger, specifically citing the threat posed by paramilitary, narco-terrorist cartels, terrorists, and criminal actors at the southern border. It argues that the federal government, under President Biden, has failed to uphold its constitutional duties to secure the border, protect states from invasion, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for common defense, and faithfully execute the laws, leading to record border crossings, increased criminal activity, and significant financial burdens on border states. Therefore, the Resolution declares that states bordering the south are experiencing an invasion or imminent danger and possess the sovereign authority to take unilateral action to defend themselves.
