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 opposes the Biden administration's border policies and calls for a return to border control measures implemented during the Trump administration. The resolution argues that securing the U.S.-Mexico border is a critical responsibility for ensuring national security, public safety, and economic well-being. It highlights concerns about the current border situation, including over 100,000 illegal border crossings monthly, the potential entry of criminals and terrorists, and the benefits to drug cartels. The resolution specifically urges President Biden to reinstate previous border control strategies such as border wall construction, Title 42 (a public health policy allowing immediate expulsion of border crossers during the COVID-19 pandemic), the Migrant Protection Protocol (or "remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers), and Safe Third-Country Agreements with Central American countries. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to key federal government officials, including the President, Senate and House leadership, and New Jersey's congressional delegation.
