Bill Summary
This Senate resolution opposes the Biden administration's policies regarding the border crisis on the United States-Mexico border and strongly urges President Biden to reinstate all of the policies that had successfully secured our nation's southern border under the prior administration. Securing our borders is one of the federal government's most essential responsibilities in ensuring our national security and public safety as well as our health and financial well-being. The policies of the Trump Administration had successfully secured our nation's southern border with Mexico including, but not limited to: building the Wall; using Title 42 public health authority to immediately expel border crossers during the COVID-19 pandemic; instituting the Migrant Protection Protocol, also commonly known as the "remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers; and entering the Safe Third-Country Agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. It is the responsibility of President Biden and Congress to protect the safety of the public by preserving the integrity of our borders and measures to control immigration as opposed to serving political agendas.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses opposition to President Biden's current policies concerning the United States-Mexico border, which the resolution describes as a "crisis," and strongly urges the President to bring back policies from the previous administration that it claims had successfully secured the southern border. The resolution highlights the importance of border security for national security, public safety, health, and financial well-being, and specifically mentions the prior administration's actions such as building a wall, using Title 42 (a public health authority to expel individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic), implementing the Migrant Protection Protocol (also known as the "remain in Mexico" policy for asylum seekers), and entering into Safe Third-Country Agreements with Central American nations. The resolution argues that the Biden administration's changes to these policies have led to increased illegal crossings, including by individuals with criminal intent, and have benefited drug cartels involved in human and drug trafficking, asserting that the President and Congress have a responsibility to protect the public by maintaining border integrity and controlling immigration.
